My new Intel DG45ID motherboard has 2 sets of IR headers, one for receiveing & one for sending. (Intel Desktop Board DG45ID - Overview)
I would much prefer to use onboard IR controller, as it probably has quite good integration with power on, from low-power state, and my board has onboard winbond IR controller chip-set. I also have existing harmony remote i would like to use. Almost a match made in heaven, expect that my silverstone SG01 doesn't have anything in the way of IR.
I am building media server around MediaPortal software.
Has anyone had any luck in finding a IR receiver / blaster kit that works with this type of motherboard or similar?
Intel refer to their 'partner', Easy-CIR for compatible kit, however easy-cir only sell bulk orders. Easy-CIR
Ideally i would have front receiver for control and learning, and a rear connection with IR sender on 1 or 2m wire, used to tell the sky box what to do. This is supported within controller and MB.
Could end up being quite a slick solution if i can procure the right kit.
Thanks
Geoff
