The IR does work with my XP MC.  Works great.

Hi Martin,

> Is it successful at transmitting the Infrared as well?

I dont currently have an MCE machine so havent been able to test it but
provided the remote is based on 38kHz (36-40kHz) then I see no reason why
it
wont carry the IR as well.

You can only have one IR capable receiver on a multidrop system. If you
want
IR control from all room then you would have to use one transmitter and
receiver for each room. You will also need one CAT5 cable per viewing room
to the location of your MCE machine. (Not a problem if the machine is
located at Node 0)

Regards

Keith
