I have a problem! We are in the process of building an in-wall cabinet to house all of our AV and home automation equipment. It will, for all intents and purposes, be out of line of sight. I already have an RF remote with RS-232, internet and IR blaster ability. My *preferenece*, born out of simplicity, would be to have individual IR blasters at all devices except the TV which is nowhere near the equipment. I would LOVE to find a PCI IR receiver that I could install into my XBMC system. Currently, I am using FLIRC, which has served me well, but I want something internal once I rack mount all my equipment.
So:
1.) Does an PCI IR receiver exist? And where would I find one? Or what other internal IR options exist?
or
2.)How do I control XBMC via incoming RS-232 connection?
or
3.)You tell me the best way to do this.
For what its worth an external IR receiver is absolutely out of the question. Nothing like making this tough, huh?
Thanks in advance
