Remote Control

[aftermath]

I put money on it that most of us will admit to having far too many remote controls.

Sometimes i can get confused when switching between devices/channels.

Ive tried an all in 1 harmony one but it didnt do everything so i found it easier going back to original ones.

Sometimes its hard to find a seat for the buggers.

Anyway here Remotes i have got, so you will know what i am on about.

TV
Blu-ray player
IPbox 9000
DM600
Media Centre
IPod docking station
HDMI switch
Digital Photo Frame
Fire

and always have a mobile and house phone among them . lol

These are in my living room only.

Lol,that's progress for you. I don't suppose any of the young 'uns here will believe that, once upon a time,you actually had to walk up to the television and push buttons! :Laugh:

It's about time all our toys came with a Network Connection and therefore IP Address, Control would be easy via a web interface that could be adapted to our personal needs. A small netbook type touch panel tablet would make a great remote.

Currently you would have to look at Crestron or AMX control systems to take control of all that equipment and more but would need a second mortage to afford the equipment and programming required.

you could always get a bamboo remote it will do them all and does not need programming. lol :roflmao:

I havent had anything it hasnt worked with, some things it hasnt got all the features setup, but you can use the remote-to-remote learning to add full remotes or just some features.

The macro function is great. With 1 button press I can turn on/off tv/amp/media center.
