Is there any way to use an IR/WiFi universal pro remote with Bluetooth equipment (for example the latest Samsung TVs) that no longer includes an IR option? With the PS3 there were a half dozen or so devices dedicated to precisely this job. I wondered if there was a similar, but more generic programmable device to do the same for a wider range of equipment. It might be a way of prolonging the useful life of such as the Pronto in an era increasingly dominated by Bluetooth remotes. |

Which Samsungs do you speak of? Have never ran into one that didn't have IR.

So far, all of the Samsungs that I have encountered will accept IR commands. The native Samsung remote might use Bluetooth for TV commands, but you can still use a dumb cable box IR remote. And, if you indicate to the Samsung that you want to control an AVR, the remotes will emit IR for the AVR. I use this to deal with PLAYBAR.

I had assumed that because the supplied remote was BT, then IR was no longer an option. Thanks all for the steer and I'll dig a bit deeper. Got to say though that the TV's manual - if you can call it that - is a bit of a joke compared to what came with the Pioneer plasma it is replacing. |
