After trying out Remote Control II, Total Remote, and NoviiRemote on my Axim x50v, I've come to the conclusion that this stuff just doesn't work or isn't worth it. Either the software is just plain bad, the IR in the PDA isn't good enough, the software can't make use of the hard keys, etc. One of the above was so slow between clicks, it was useless. Another one, I couldn't tell if it was the software or the PDA. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. Didn't matter if I was 1' away or 7' away.

So what about going a different route? Like remote control type software on the PDA that talks to a server (HTPC) that's connected to a real IR blaster. Anything like this exist?

I was thinking of getting an IR blaster for the PC just to help with finding codes. Any good IR blasters come with software for accomplishing this?

thanks!
