Maximusi Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Good Evening all, I am building and configuring my XBMC media center perfecting it in every way to my needs. I have recently come across FLIRC and really excited to use it as I will be ditching my old Sky box and feel the Sky+ Remote would be awesome to control the media center however I have one big issue and that is aesthetics. I have built a very small Mini-ITX system in a black case: http://static.mini-itx.com/store/images/4215-01L.jpg Ideally I would like a micro usb ir receiver for the remote. Like the Flirc Mini USB Wifi thats exactly what I would like it look like. I read a some people have the Flirc on the back of the device but surley thats not great for remote reception? Is there anything else that can be done? Thanks, Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Mine is behind my television on a wallmount and doesn't skip a bit. It will be absolutely fine behind the computer. I have not made an announcement yet, but there is an option that might be better, although not sure it's going to work with the case you have: http://www.streacom.com/news-item/introducing-flirc-se/ I will be making the announcement in the next day or so, it's a second product made for going inside cases that support internal IR modules.

Maximusi Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 That would work perfectly so it will be inside the case just need a small gap for the ir sensor? Look forward to seeing a price for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
