I'm looking for a HCPC remote control - currently IRman looks a good choice. I have some concerns as it is a serial device (a) I already have both my serial ports in use, (b) I find serial devices can be a bit fussy at times. Are there any USB remote controls available?
Related question (sort of) - how flexible is the remote re. line of sight (or lack thereof)? I may have my HCPC hidden round a corner so although it will only be about 5m from the viewing position, there is no direct line of sight to the HCPC. I seem to remember that the ATI all-in-wonder remote for example uses radio frequencies so can even go through walls to some extent?
Advice welcomed from people who've already had - and solved(!) - these problems.
