XIR Remote

http://nicolas.cx/gr...xir/default.asp

Hardware addon that allows remote on and off of xbox.

It rocks my world!

I have a universal remote with a macro that turns on my xbox, tv, sets the AV input, turns on the amp, sets the audio input all with one press. A longer press turns it all off again!

You can already turn off xbox/return to dash from the XBMP mainscreen.


i'd do the mod but cant be stuffed making holes in my remote.

Hey, does the XIR remote off work if the xbox has crashed?

...maybe then itd be worth doin.

And the IR reciver works with most RCA or Mircsoft universal codes, so you don't have to deal with another remote.

 laugh.gif I agree.  It's not worth an extra 22 bucks to mod my DVD remote so I can turn it off.  I can do it from my dashboard anyway!

So I say get off your fat arses as well!

I picked it up last night as I should be getting my mod installed this week. I was able to program my One For All Universal remote to control the xbox by setting one of my extra device keys to a RCA DVD player. The only buttons that I couldn't find on the One For All were buttons that did the function of the Display and Title function on the xbox remote, so I just set those two functions to two of the 4 learning keys on the remote. It felt weird to drop 30 bucks on what amounts to an IR reciever but hey I'm sure it'll work well for me.
