IR receiver / Harmony One WMC Remote

[AQ_OC]

I want to use this:

and my Harmony one to make a WMC Remote. I would just program the Harmony to be one of the common WMC remotes on the market.

Will this work?

Stay on the safe side and get something like this... http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Control-Infrared-Receiver-Ultimate/dp/B00224ZDFY/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t

The IR you were looking looked more for IRDA communication w/ old handheld PDA devices. Get something w/ compatible MCE hardware and its almost guaranteed to work under linux and windows without a hitch for a few bucks more

You're probably right. Thanks.

Won't work. 7MC works with RC6 compatible receivers. That's just a regular IR reciever. If you wanted to use something like a Tivo remote and software like EventGhost you could get it to work... with something that wasn't 7MC.

Thanks. I'll just get a WMC remote and program my Harmony to control WMC via the receiver that comes with the remote.

I guess 7MC = Windows 7 Media Center, correct?

I second eventghost as well, infinitely useful.
