thx for your post. I am using the "eyetv sat". I did as you suggested and blocked the eyetv sat IR receiver and tata ... as by magic ... it works. Good thinking Felix. Sometimes it's much simpler than one thinks.

But now ... what's the next step? As I don't want to have the big book standing in front of my eyetv sat for much longer ;-) Is there a way to switch of apple remote support via the eyetv sat IR receiver? Or what?

Many thanks so far.
