Hi Anand, I use a PVR-250 which is a USB MPEG2 encoder, I bought it 3 years ago bundled with a usb IR (receiver and transmitter) which works with very little effort with LIRC.
as far for the laptop, I've considered it, my main argument against it at this time is that i want my wife to be able to play music without opening the tv, thats why I was looking for a fully integrated solution. cheers, Ohad On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 2:04 PM, Anand Vaidya <[email protected]>wrote: > On 09 March 2010 am 11:33:57 Fabrice A.
