[QUOTE="findftp, post: 951646, member: 115630"] In my opinion a MCE receiver/blaster is just as "generic" It depends which device you buy. For the two that I know it is already differently implemented. Pulse Eight: 1 HDMI in 1 HDMI out (passthrough) 1 Mini USB connector, which is used to add/read the CEC signals to/from HDMI This device you can locate close to your HTPC with only one HDMI cable running to the TV RCaware: 1 HDMI in 1 USB in/out This device is ment to be connected to another HDMI port on your TV (I suppose, I think it doesn't really care which HDMI device) Then you can use a short HDMI to the CEC device, and a "long" USB to your HTPC or the other way arround. Personally I love the Pulse Eight device more. Less cabling with long distance setups and it doesn't take an extra HDMI from the TV. Downside, no eventghost support (yet, they are working on it.... For a year) [/QUOTE]
