Has anyone successfully modded the mce unit to allow 3 ir blasters to be used. I'm trying to control my tv stb and amp?

I have changed all the IR-diodes on my brothers unit. and in the process I split the cable and added two diodes to one of the blasterports. I went to a store (Elfa in Sweden) and bought standard IR-diodes and 3.5mm headphoneplug and soldered it all together.

Glad it works!, I've got another diode for the mce spare so I get a mono phono splitter would work and would involve zero soldering!

It should work. The reason I changed the diodes was to increase the range of the blasters so that is just an extra feature.

I am not really sure I understand what you mean, is the purpose to add an extra receiver diode to the "recieverpuck" and extend it to another room? In that caste: Theoretically it should be possible, the question is how the signal deteriorates in the wires and how two parallel coupled diodes affect each other??? Only one way to find out :)

O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
