Do you have a 5550?

If so, and you need a remote extender, it would indicate that the IR range is very poor?

have you been able to compare it to anything with NEVO on? HP tell me that the IR hardware in the 5450/5550 is the same? do you know if this is so?, If true, it must mean that this NEVO program allows the IR unit to TX at a higher power.

Am I making sence so far? If so, is it possible, or is there any software out there that also enables the higher IR output on a non NEVO machine?. If we could find this out, would save you buying an IR extender and would solve the problem i have of which machine to buy

Cheers
