REmote Buddy application+Compatible IR reciever/remote control


9 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

i don't have iphone,ipod,apple remote control ...

i don't have an Apple compatible IR Reciever, i have an old reciever from Pinnacle's PCI PCTV Pro tuner

the tuner doesn't work ..i guess the same goes for the reciever+remote control

this is the remote control : HERE

it's not problem for me to buy new remote control/reciever if this doesnt work

in XP i do everything with remote control+UICE ..everything ,i'm very used to it

now i saw some videos about this remote buddy application and i think that maybe is as strong as UICE/lirc for windows

so tell me what to buy..

 

Also if there is a tuner's remote control that the reciever works with remote buddy it would be better

cause pinnacle's doesnt work in MAC so i need to buy a new one ,no problem cause it's old and crappy

 

so i need:

TUNER+REMOTE CONTROL THAT WORKS WITH REMOTE BUDDY

i saw at their site that any remote control+reciever that use the Microsoft® / Philips®OVU400301/00 (eHome 2005) OVU4003 standard will work

 

any suggestions?

Hi, easiest way is to buy Microsoft e-home Ir transceiver and apple remote.

 

I've got RemoteBuddy with Microsoft e-home reciever and original apple's remote and it works very well.

 

The MS remote that shipped with reciever does't work on AppleOS (Tiger/Leo) and RemoteBuddy.

Also i've tried bunch of remotes (mainly from some strange manufacturers) but none seems to work .

 

here's dump from system profiler

 

eHome Infrared Transceiver:

 

Version: 0.00

Bus Power (mA): 500

Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec

Manufacturer: Philips

Product ID: 0x0815

Serial Number: PH00Ffsc

Vendor ID: 0x0471

ontoid thankz for your reply

 

i need your opinions for 2 products:

1: Keyspan RF Remote+ir reciever :DETAILS

2: Microsoft A9O-00007 WinXP Media Center Infrared Remote Control : DETAILS (ontoid:remote control doesn't work??)

both are compatible with remote buddy

 

many ppl suggest keyspan ..but it has only 9 buttons ,isn't that a problem?

apple remote control has also not enough buttons ,will i be able to assign a lot of actions?

i'll need to control almost everything with remote buddy (navigate throught folders and select files,asjust volume/preferences,turn off screen, start a movie+adjust subtitles sync if the player has ability,etc etc)

in XP with my crappy remote control+UICE+BSplayer i can adsjust font size,sync subs,+/- brightness,change aspect ratio etc etc)

 

so what do you suggest me to buy and why? (the price is almost the same..)

let's try again ,now that is morning and most ppl are lazy at work :P

keyspan remote control, microsoft remote control OR apple remote control+? IR Reciever?

or a good tuner for mac that i'll be able to use it's remote control?

i care about how fast the remote control+reciever will react , i wouldnt like delay when i press the button

to be used with applications : Sofa Control or Remote buddy.

 

thank you ,plz reply asap ,i want to buy today :)

I am personally using a sony ps 3 BD remote control and a bluetooth receiver. I got them cheap. Next problem is that Remote Buddy is free for only 30 days. If somebody wants to crack the program just pm me, I've got something interesting.
