    High Definition Cable Boxes and RS 232

    Does anyone know if you can control a Comcast high definition cable box via a remote control through walls. Is there any device that you can get to do this? Thanks.

    You can get an IR remote extender or an RF remote and RF-IR converter at the cable box. I don't know of anything that can control the box via the RS232, other than Tivo or a PC.

        Hi

        Does anybody know where i can find the connection cable for remote control of the c2 parasound? Is an Rs232 cable to 3.5mm jack (with 2 or three rings?) My seller send me an USB to 3.5mm jack with three rings) on a box but my laptop does not recognize it at all. Maybe an Rs232 converter...

        I found a floating, waterproof remote control!
        by Chris D
        I followed up on my previous post of needing a waterproof remote control by buying a Balboa Dolphin Flier remote, and thought I'd post information on it that could help others. I've run into several people who are looking for a similar type of product with no luck.

        I'm very impressed...

        Jriver and CP800 remote control problem
        by mattyw
        I have recently upgraded my CP800 to Mk2 and it is working fine apart from one major problem. Having changed from USB to network connection the CP800 physical remote control no longer works correctly.

        I am using JRiver (v21) on my server to connect to the CP800 via the network connection....
