Yes, that is the site. I've not recently looked at what current remotes still sport a JP1 connector, the forums should have a list. Beyond the cable that you can build or buy, the software is totally free. http://controlremote.sourceforge.net/ A similar project exists for Harmony though it's r

j., So, I've gone an googled "JP1" and I have found the www.hifi-remote.com site, www.uei.com site, and www.oneforall.com site. The "Kameleon" choices look nice so far. Even dl'd a spreadsheet that lists choices that are JP1 "tweakable." Interesting. Am I looking at what you speak of? Best, D
