Hey, This is a repost from the customization section of the forums. I didn't see this part of the forums at first and I wasn't getting much traffic over in the customization area. Sorry about the double post but hopefully someone over here might have some ideas.
I was wondering if anyone has much experience/knowledge about adding an IR receiver to their rig.
It seems like, from what I could find on the forums, the only options are to use either an old IR receiver from a MBP like this or spend a bit more and order one of these Mira
I currently use XBMC on my MBP but I would like to just start using my Hack Pro (once I get it set up). I'm currently using something called Remote Buddy which basically creates a number of virtual apple remotes which I can then use to add more buttons to my Logitech Harmony remote. It took a while to set up the remote like that so I would like to not have to do that again.
It sounds like the Mira requires you to use their software to run it and I'm worried that it will get in the way of Remote Buddy's functions.
I guess my questions are:
Does anyone use Mira? If so would you know if that would interfere with Remote Buddy?
Does anyone use a Logitech Harmony Remote to control their Hackintosh as a media center? if so what's the setup?
and last, are there any other options for an IR reciver that I'm missing?
