[QUOTE="Spagbol, post: 63496, member: 21687"] Wonder if someone can clear this up for me... I would like to be able to initiate and also wake up from S3 standby via my remote. I understand this is possible using the USB wakeup ability of the mobo. Now here's the rub... I way prefer my hauppauge remote over the MCE remote but that uses a serial IR blaster, not USB. I could get a USB-UIRT and use my Hauppauge remote with the USB-UIRT plugin being developed, but I can get an MCE remote (with USB IR blaster) for about half the price. Having a variety of serial IR receivers from different remotes, I noticed they all just translate the remote signal the same way (I could use any IR receiver and same remote would work with all of them). Does the USB IR receiver work the same way? Does the MCE IR blaster deliver the same data to the PC as any other USB IR blaster (e.g. USB-UIRT)? If so I could just get an MCE remote and receiver cheap and use the IR receiver with my Hauppauge remote? I appreciate that if that works, MP would only process the Hauppauge codes and as such would have no command for wake from standby, but could I remap the Power button to do so? If not, would the USB-UIRT plugin work with the MCE IR receiver? I could then use the MCE IR receiver and 'learn' the button to remap the function? Sorry for a lot of confuzzled questions!! [/QUOTE]
