[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1093171, member: 131855"] I am starting to look at this issue as well. I'd like to turn my iPad into a remote that controls the entire system. Macworld has a review online of some of the remote apps that are available. Some are capable of learning a wide variety of commands (including macros).[url=http://www.macworld.com/article/151573/2010/07/iphone_ir_remotes.html]iPhone IR remotes compared Review | Home Theater | Playlist | Macworld[/url] Some of the programs that control multiple devices might help with the first problem. None of the programs reviewed addresses the issue of what to do if you, or more importantly, your phone weren't there. The options I have seen so far, though not exactly cheap, are 1. An old/unused iPhone gets turned into the remote 2. Something like the RedEye might work but it also depends on having an old phone/iPod touch lying around [url=http://thinkflood.com/products/]RedEye Products[/url] [/QUOTE]
