    Very good i dont know how you thought of it, one let down is that you have to have a pocket pc (which i dont have) but if you have its worth a try although you can buy universal remotes for cheaper.

  • koekie says:

    it should be possible with just a pc
    justt put the total remote in your audio input. (and try to get the software running offcourse)

    i love this idea,i have a psp and i was wondering if this idea could be applied to the psp(a psp that could control your tv and other living room devices-freakin cool)

    it sounds like a good idea but maby all you need is to plug it into, either the mic port or the line in port and record it with an advanced editing program then mute the right sound and copy it to any mp3 player
