I canny control my TV!!

[alvin5785]

Hey peeps,

Iv downloaded Total Remote on my Xda2, but everytime i try to receive a signal from my tv remote control, it just says 'cannot read signal'. Iv also tried it with a dozen different remotes. My IR port works because iv recieved/sent files thu IR. Iv also used other programs like Iremote, with the same results. is there something im doing wrong? or do xda2's not like remotes?

can ne1 help?

cheers

The XDA II can´t work as a remote, because the IR signal is to weak. You would need to hold it just a few inches from the TV for it to work, if it works att all. I have triend many many programs, and even tried to beam between two XDA II`s. Even then the signal is very very bad...

I wounder even why they included IR when it apparantly aint working.

To allow you to exchange contacts, appointments and so on with others w/o the need of Bluetooth :D - I use it all the time and wouldn't wanna miss it...

alvin5785, I hope you didn't waste your money and got a demo version first... using a PPC as a remotre control is in my eyes a ridiculous thing... you shouldn't be as desperate as that to find a use for your device...

i have an ir usb adaptor for my desktop
and my laptop also have ir this enable me to activesync
with them
well my desktop also have a bluetooth usb but thats a whole other story
:P

i had the remote working on my xda1 but it only had a range of 30cm

and i heard that the ir dident work at all as remote with the xda2 but i've never tried it
if it does work there are ir amplyfiers you can make yourself and put infront of the xda and the range will be better
