[QUOTE="TVmecken, post: 75026, member: 18385"] Hi nedhh, Personally I am using the HIP software to control my plasma screen and my Yamaha amp. This way I could send rather complex commands like when pressing the green button I could switch on the Plasma and the amp, send the correct setting instruction to both and finally start MP if it is not started. With HIP you program your remote keys by application (means that the same button could send different commands depending on running application, very useful if you run something else than MP). It makes it very flexible and user friendly IMHO. The most difficult thing is to get the hardware to work. The IR blasters on the MCE remote seems to be very weak. I had to fix them right on the IR eye on respective unit. Even then I was forced to shield them from catching up IR noise from the plasma screen.
