Re: Apple Remote + IR Dongle + Remote Buddy = control A/V Receiver via IR?

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

I have MacMini with the ZephIR (IR Blaster) and Remote Buddy and everything works awesome. I also bought a USB 2.0 Cat 5 extender from monoprice.com (which is the only place to buy av cables and stuff) and ran a network cable from my mac mini to the other side of the room so that my ZephIR could hit every device in the room (about 30 ft) and it works good. Takes a little AppleScripting and custom mapping in remote buddy but I can control all aspects of my Receiver, TV, DVD Player, etc.. with my Wii Remote or Iphone, or Ipod Touch, or any web enabled device. Certainly worth the $60 bucks.

ALso got a 4x2 HDMI Splitter (which is controlled by RB + IR) with a 75' HDMI cable running to TV downstairs and now I can use any source from my main Home Theatre to the TV downstairs. ANd the kids can play XBOX 360 downstairs and I can watch a movie on MacMini with both devices sitting next to each other upstairs.

Let me know if you want more information.
