590998 2007-09-14 01:29:00 I recently got a phone that can only connect to a computer through infrared. Unfortuntaly I don't have my infrared receiver where I am at the moment, and won't for another two months. In the mean time, is there anyway I can use my TV tuner's infrared receiver (for its remote) as a substitute? fallsauce (4677)
590999 2007-09-14 01:38:00 Ah, no. If you want to connect the phone via IR, you'll need to buy an adaptor, something like this (www.trademe.co.nz) one. wratterus (105)
591000 2007-09-14 07:00:00 Unless you can hack the hardware and software somehow, no. Just buy a infrared receiver and use that. beeswax34 (63)
591001 2007-09-15 02:54:00 It depends. :D If the TV controller IR modules implements a standard irDA (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association) protocol, and the phone uses the same prorocol, it should be easy.

If either of them doesn't, it won't be. :(
