Just wondered if anyone else had tried flirc.tv? Looks like an interesting programmable remote receiver, works across platforms and seems ideal for our purposes. Also posted on avforums.com and got a reply from the developer. Turns out profits are going to an onclogy centre, so I thought I'd post here to drum up some support from the MediaPortal community., the developer seems a really nice chap and his post on avforums shows an attitude to customer service you don't see very often anymore.
Looks like there are one or two bugs left to be ironed out but I think it could be a bit of a Holy Grail once those are sorted.
