Steve IR project:

This an http pointer to Linux Infrared Remote Control project
which is going to be folded into the linux bt848 project.
http://www.thp.Uni-Koeln.DE/~rjkm/lirc/index.html


Now both projects so far required you to build the IR controller and
I guess if I put my mind to it I can probably build however I don't
think is feasible for our typical couch potatoes to build 
IR controller it is much easier to buy one and hopefully cheap.


So  am looking around for an RS-232 IR controller so I can control fxtv 8)
