I can't believe the costs under consideration here. You can get an entire smartphone for $300, and then you can use it in this setup, which is what I have:
WD TV Live (incredible machine)
+
27"+ ordinary computer LCD
+
Philips hts3021
+
some ethernet cable connecting WD TV to home network
+
WDTV Wi-Fi Remote Lite - Android
That last line right there is the pi

Does anyone know of an app that would allow you to use your phone as a TV remote. I never lose the dam phone but that TV remote is constantly gone. I suspect the wife might have something to do with it and an app like that would be money in the bank for me. Nothing better then to one up the wife...lol
Thanks,
World Of Hurts
I think I saw one custom,but not sure where lol. I will look, and report back

Add function for importing/copy devices to from our software. This is useful for:
1. copy device configurations between multiple apps on android, iphone, itouch, ipad, etc.
2. import device that is not in dbase or you cannot learn with built in learner on hardware that has it. i.e. GC100 has no built in learner, no built in IR dbase. you must learn code into pc via iLearn software. Then you can take that code, insert into our import file, and be able to control the IR device in our software.
3. save backups of your device configurations
