Re: Direct connection send / receive

[<ssc...@wo...>]

Can you mention a "modern receiver" as an example.
I've always wondered why no manufacturer or third party company hasn't 
done this already. I don't have any pointers, but I am curious about 
this. It would seem to me in an automated setup relying on infrared 
has its limitations, whereas direct connections would be reliable.
