[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1104772, member: 141969"] I looked at this device a couple of years ago (but have never used one). As far as I remember, it is not an IR receiver for controlling a media center. It is a simple low-voltage power-switch that is connected in parallel with the on/off switch in the system unit, and hence performs the same function as the on/off switch in the system unit. The distinguishing feature of the Simerec device is that it is controlled by IR signals, and you can program it to respond to any IR signal that you want (one for "power on", another for "power off"). But you will still need to use a normal IR receiver to control MP, in addition to the Simerec device. -- from CyberSimian in the UK EDIT: I see now that there is a new Simerec device -- the PCS-MCE -- which does control a media center that uses RC6 IR signals. The device that I described above is the earlier model, the PCS-1 or PCS-2. Doh! [/QUOTE]
