You will not regret it if you do get it believe me.....Im using the ir
function and some custom screens but havnt scratched the surface...its a
gradual thing and programming is easy......Theres an installation in
melbourne which has Homevision, C_bus + Comfort all talking to one
another...........
You could have bought Homevision almost with the money you spend on that
plasma friendly ir receiver ;-)) Hows the ir system going ?
