[QUOTE="Pastill, post: 197171, member: 55904"] I divide this in two parts. 1. Following your instructions I had this results: (When placing the IR-bean 0 - 10 cm in a very narrow segment from reciever sensor ) a. Amplifier reacts on MCE transmitter with on/off and +/- b. TV had no reactions So TV is still a problem with the transmitter / IR Server. No problem when using MS MCE Remote that I've learned the code. The reason for going the way through the transmitter to collect the ir-codes was more from a testpurpose since nothing worked . No intention of using that in final solution. 2. You say it's a very weak signal. What is the reason that this IR transmitter produce such a weak signal. When testing with Hauppauges remote and transmitter (Hauppauge transmitter looks the same as this one) I had no such problems. No problem to steer TV and other equipment from long distance. (Unfortunatly Hauppauge remote can't wakeup PC from Standby). My amplifier is placed just beside the HTPC but my TV is placed 3m away. Why need to have (extended) wires ( if it works with TV) all around when it's an IR device ? I'm still not convinced (and I can't verify by messuring ): Is it just a weak signal or is it a bad/wrong signal produced by IR Server and/or the MS Tranciever? Why should Microsoft / Phillips build such a bad IR transmitter ( from a hardware aspect), when they have no problems building an efficient Remote ? [/QUOTE]
