Fyi: IrDA is not the same as IR. IrDA is a two-way protocol that runs over IR. Most TV remotes (with the exception of a very small number of set-top boxes) do not use IrDA, so it won't be any good for communicating with them. Instead you need something that talks to the IR port directly.

This site/org didn't exist when I was fiddling around with this stuff (whois registration was Sep 02; I was goofing around with this stuff in Feb 04). There's a link to a developer resource page that lists books, specs, other publications, and online forums. I still don't know if you'll have the programmatic access to the IR hardware on a laptop to make much use of the specs that you'd need to talk to a TV, but the site looks informative. -Mike Bear Canyon Consulting LLC http://www.bearcanyon.com http://www.pluralsight.com/blogs/mike =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
