RE: Genesis To C_Bus

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Yep IR system is good. Been very reliable. The zoning, is built into the
Easy6 pre-amp which controls my whole house audio and I've been realy
pleased with its functionality.
That plasma friendly receiver works a treat! OK so it should do for that
money!

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 ?
