Bluetooth/IR Dual Universal Remote? - Blu-ray Forum

G-money · 07-23-2007, 05:00 AM

Has anyone seen a Dual Bluetooth and IR Universal Remote anywhere? I want to get a remote but i watch blu rays on my ps3 and it uses bluetooth and i have yet to see one that does both bluetooth and IR so that i can control EVERYTHING at the same time.

I don't know if one exists, but if it does that would have to be the coolest thing since I hate the Bluetooth functionality only for the remote control functions.

Not quite the perfect fix but this will allow you to use your IR remote to control the PS3, you will just need to learn what ever commands this thing uses. The only thing it doesn't have is the PS button but all the other functionality should work.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is it not possible to use a USB IR receiver on the PS3 and utilize a regular universal remote? You might not get the PS button, but all other functionality would be ok. I don't mind getting up to turn on the PS3, but I sure hate using the controller when I want to watch a movie.

BTW, does anyone feel as if blue tooth remotes for TV, Receiver, all AV equipment is in the future?

I agree! I would love to see and aftermarket PS3 remote w/IR built-in. I'm surprised noone has done it yet.

yea i've seen that tutorial on how to make one.

i do have good news however, i talked to a buddy of mine who knows a guy that works in an electronis warehouse type place(not really sure), but this guy knows ALOT about home theatre/entertainment etc. anyways i got my friend to talk to him and they guy told him that there are some being made as we speak. However they won't be cheap, i'm guessing it'll prolly be made by Logitech in the Harmony series. I'm guessing it'll be somewhere around $150-$200.

it'll be worth it though.
