Hello, I just discovered lirc and it seems to exactly fills my needs: control a settop box we have in France called the "Freebox". This appliance is connected to a phone line on one end and outputs ethernet, VoIP and TV on the other end. The TV function is controlled with a remote through the Freebox's IR port. Following the recommendation of the lirc FAQ I just ordered an IRTrans unit from http://www.irtrans.com/. With this setup I'm hoping to be able to control the Freebox TV function from any computer connected to my home LAN. Is that realistic? Has someone on the list done it with a Freebox or equivalent? Thanks, |

I plan to stick the IRtrans unit right in front the Freebox's IR receiver, so range is not an issue for me. My main concern to be able to control the Freebox from any PC on my network. > i'm hoping you don't live in the US... Fortunately, I live in France. What does that have to do with LIRC? |
