hi all, i was looking into a infrared
receiver transmitter for my pc to
control my tv and anything else that use ir signals and i found
this http://www.usbuirt.com/ , in the description of the device it
had a link to some software http://www.promixis.com/girder.php
there is some other interesting software there too. anyway these 2
things seem prety cheap but im not sure if thats what i need.
so my question is if i bought the ir receiver/transmiter and the
girder software could i control all my ir devices?
if i remember right the wireless xbox 360 controlers use infrared
signals, so i could control that too hopefully, correct me if im
wrong.
thanks in advance for any help :)

Hi IvanTheGrand, I haven't any experince with that exact device and
software, but use a similar device but with Tira and Gewa IR
signals. I use them with The Grid 2 software:
http://www.smartboxat.com/software/the-grid-2/ You can train them
using the remote control of the device you want to control via your
PC. This is done by recording the signal (by literally aiming the
remote at the IR transmitter) onto you PC software. You can then
interact with the software on your PC to transmit the signals via
the device. Girder looks really interesting. I'll try out the free
trial for sure. Bill
