Is it possible to use this (IR server suite) to receive remote signals using the standard IrDA port on a PC?

    IrDA uses a different carrier bandwitdh than regular remote controls so it's no possible, I'm afraid.

    It's kind of like saying can you use your webcam to take themographic images. In theory they use the same methods, but just not quite.

    I've explained this in a lot more detail in a number of very old posts.

    Cheers and sorry for the bad news,
    Marcus.

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...
