Lack of Consumer IR on x50?

[Ray1200]

I've been down the Mosaic type remote route before, and it's OK up to a point. I'm prepared at spend the money and the time making something a bit more specific, more colourful and frankly, flash.

If you've ever used a ProntoPro with a well configured CCF you'll know what I mean. I got most of the way there with my old IPAQ, an expansion jacket and the Electric Dog extender, and it was a) pretty functional, and b) interesting to do.

I'd hope that by using the x50v I'd make the process even slicker, but it sort of falls at the first fence if I can't get the volume to go up and down.

If I can NetRemote to work, it should do everything I want, full screen config, hard button assignment, etc etc. But it seems not to like my HK amp. I may try the WinCE product over the weekend, but I'd much prefer to use something that takes CCF files.

No problem, i see your point, it is rather dull and yes it doesn't take CCF files. Just curious, how many IR devices are you planning to use because i guess you could just programme it yourself, unless it would take a little too long.

Anyway devices that are built to do one thing specifically do it much better since it is designed to accomplish that specification. :approve:

Get an X5, stick your ED CFIr and any CCF in it and you can point it 180° away from your HT and it works flawlessly.

This is the reason I bought an Axim in the first place. But once I tooled around in these Forums, I soon bought me another to replace my HP548.

.........and look at me now!!!
