Macintosh Laptops

How I can use my mac as a TV remote with IR?

I have a macbook 10.5.7 and a Panasonic Viera TX-32LMD70

This is an old ad for Yahoo from the same subject: "Actually, yes there is, but it is quite cumbersome and costly. You have to find an infrared transmitter RS-232 controller can be programmed and activated from a laptop. Something like that .... http://www.motron.com/InfraredInterface you will need the issuer itself. Something and I am http://www.smarthome.com/8170s.html only examples of equipment indeed. You still have to check compatibility. Once you train, you need to find software that supports the controller. Then you need the RS-232 commands to the device (s) to be controlled. Once all elements and connected, you can control your TV (or otherwise) to your laptop, if not a wireless connection, since you need to connect the serial cable to mobile transmitter to talk to the driver. I have not seen any portable infrared transmitter, but this does not mean there are not. You would need something like that to have a real remote control portable wireless TV. In general, unless there is a need compelling reason to do it is probably problem more than worthwhile. Hope this helps "
