Default Universal remote control - another battery draining device

Hi,

Just saw this, haven't got one or seen it, but looks interesting...

http://features.engadget.com/entry/6336778455600767/

It's a small audio - to infrared signal convertor.

Was just thinking how you could turn down the TV when the commercials come on to surf the net in quiet. with out the need to reach for the remote :P

Regards
Michael

You are one lazy lazy boy!

Jus kiddin. I use Novii remote and it is just fantastic. It has macro recording function so i can basically teach the software what all signals to use.

Oh and i do use it to turn down the tv while browsing the net; i dont like reaching for the remote myself

How do you deal with the landscape issue? I'm looking for the best remote control software, but the location of the IR port makes it awkward...

read the article again - you don't actually use the IR port. You use the audio jacket which is conveniently located at the back of the Universal.
