*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
