*sigh* For the second evening in a row I've just had "What
have
you done to this? It's not working!" from the missus in reference to my AV
system.
It
was all working fine 30 minutes ago when I got into the bath ... now I've
got
out it's "What have you done to this? It's not working!". I hadn't been
downstairs, I hadn't touched anything more technical than the pull cord on
the
bathroom light but it's still what have *I* done to it.
For
the second evening in a row when I've gone down and tried it it's been fine
too ... last night was the DVD player not responding to the menu keys.
(That
was down to the "user" standing 3 ft in front of the telly and pointing the
Pronto at the centre channel speaker underneath to control the DVD player
when
the DVD player is across the other side of the room!) Tonight's
"not
working" was down to the "user" pressing the "System On" button on the
Pronto
and then putting the Pronto down on the table where it was masked by a pile
of
newspapers whilst it was still going through its macro
sequence!
AAAARRRRGH!
Is
there any way to do the following:
1)
Use a Remote IR receiver positioned somewhere by the TV to pick up any IR
signals and relay these back to a set of multiple IR emitters attached to
the
IR windows of my AV kit (whilst at the same time blocking out any IR from
the
room itself). Now this can be done using an IR distribution amp as on
LetsAutomate - I know that but below is the "rub".
and
at the same time:
2)
Use the same IR receiver to pass IR to the HomeVision so that HomeVision
can
intercept commands that currently are macros and then use those to trigger
command sequences sent down the same set of IR emitters as in (1)
above.
I'd
rather have a single IR receiver and have HomeVision tucked out of the way
in
the equipment cupboard if at all possible.
Cheers
Phil
