“I've been using my smartphones/tablet for remote controlling my XBMC boxes for a few years now. Quite often I press the wrong key, even when looking down at the remote, which is quite irritating in the long run + the need to keep my phones charged late in the evening to be able to remote XBMC. The setup of Flirc was super-easy and now I can use any remote I like, right now I use my Panasonic TV-Remote and Denon Receiver-Remote to also control XBMC, and I no longer need to look at my remote when controlling XBMC, I'm a happy camper indeed =).”
“This product is amazing. Install the configuration software on your main PC (Linux, Mac & Win versions available) then configure the FLIRC dongle with any old remote control you have lying around. It takes literally only a couple of minutes, then move the FLIRC over & plug it into your Raspberry Pi Media Center & that's it, you are up'n'running. It's idiotproof, but there's also a forum if you have any questions or problems. Basically, it does exactly what it says on the tin.”
