I know this has been asked previously, and the answer was that currently the iPronto currently does not support any sort of RF extender functionality, but I wanted to revisit the topic.
I'm sort of incredulous that a high end device such as the iPronto would not be able to support RF functionality given that many people who would be interested in this device have complex systems that are mounted in racks or closed cabinets (yes--me included).
Does anyone know if this functionality is forthcoming (I assume it is) and if so, when? This is really the make or break variable that it would hinge on for me.
Alternatively the option to send the commands over 802.11 to a PC in my equipment rack and then somehow output IR commands through some sort of IP-to-IR repeater hung off the serial or USB port would probably work as well, but I'm not sure if such an animal exists.
Has anyone done anything like this or have any other suggestions for someone who's itching for an iPronto but cannot use IR?
