Welcome to the Girder forum. :smile:

I'm confused by your post. Have you tried this combo? Did it not work? Thanks.

I searched the archives and found a couple of posts but nothing is definitive. Is the IR receiver that comes with the airboard (PC concepts) able to "teach" girder the necessary hotkeys or whatever to execute commands? I would have though for certain that this combo would function well together. For example, if i use the keyboard plug-in and use F2 as a shortcut to launch WinDVD and simultaneously play a DVD, i would hope that Girder would readily be able to execute that command..., i could then teach my programable remote this same F2 key and would then have the flexibility of using either my remote or keyboard to run my applications. If incompatibility is the case, would the Girder developpers consider (Ron) making these devices compatible with each other.

Say it aint so!

No, i have not tried this as of yet but people on this forum and on AVS forum say it only partially works. I am trying to avoid any confusion /frustration on my end so i'm getting the infoormation needed before i perform the task of automating my HTPC. Anyone?
