Just to finish off the thread. I decided to try and see what it'd be like with the rack facing up the room... and it was not as bad as I'd thought, mainly as now I can shove it almost up against a side wall whereas before there was a large gap at the back to accomodate leads, fiddling etc. This seemed to go hand in hand with a tidy up and slight reorganisation of the lounge, vastly improving it's Feng Shui.
Although the Transporter is still at an angle to the place I usually reside I am coming at it from the other side so the IR reception is not blocked by the knob. I'm pleased with the results and glad not to have to use the telescope or reflecting mirrors and still get pretty perfect reception on my Transporter. The only slight problem is that when the lounge door is open I can only see the very edge of the rack and none of the components at all! Thanks for all the help.
