One more question:
I've read in the archives that the MCE remote will work, but what
about the IR blaster? Will this have to be replaced with on from
irblaster.info <http://irblaster.info/> or similar?
The Windows MCE remote consists of the remote that hold in your hand and
a receiver which picks up the Infra Red signals, this a small box which
plugs into a a spare USB port.
The remote do work, but have issues, in that you need the right version
of LIRC to make it work...
The receiver also has a couple of socket on the back of it where you can
plug in supplied IR transmitters that can control set top boxes
(cable/satellite box) HOWEVER, the IR blaster/transmit function do not
work under Linux due to a lack of drivers, so if you need to control an
separate box, then you will need some other IR blaster hardware...
HTH,
Lee
