However Vito made it happen. I used one of these remote control programs on my iPAQ years ago, and it wasn't anything to write home about. I would be interested in seeing how it works on my Smartphone, but I don't have an IR port on my device. There aren't many devices that include an IR port, are there?

Does the Dash have IR?

The T-Mobile SDA (US Version) has a IR port in just the right place. I will have to test out the distance, though...

I have the Dash now, no it doesn't have IR. It only has Bluetooth. When will they make TVs or Cable boxes with bluetooth? :)

That would be great, no more line of sight issues to deal with.
