[QUOTE="PaulWilkinson, post: 17742"] Help.. Right, I'll admit I’m not familiar with IR devices at all and it's stressing me out a bit. I've got a laptop I’m trying to use as a slim solution with mediaportal. Machine is setup perfect for resources and such but I'm having a bit trouble with getting a remote working. The laptop itself has an IR port but I have no idea if it's up to the job or not. I understand that there is a few different types or IR ports and the frequencies supported but I cant find (sorry if it's just me) any documentation specifying what the requirements are. I've attempted to use apps like WINLIRC and other IR apps but with no such luck. If I have to purchase a UIR then so be it, however I’d just like some friendly advice. :( Oh, and the remote is not a problem because I have a Logitech Harmony H655 that can emulate a MCE 2005 remote or any other if needs be. :?
