Hello!
I know that having several imon receivers active at the same time is causing crashes and blue screens. Because of the sadly very limited range of imon ir receivers i bought a imon mini receiver to have under my big screen, but i was also going to use the imon inside reciever that i built into my htpc, so that i can use a imonpad either directed against the screen, or against the htpc that has a different location in my room. This created crashes and i had to unplug one of the receivers, and again always walk to the part of the room where there is reception. (kind of against the idea of "remote control").
Now im building a new htpc, with amp, turntable, and most of livingroom technology all built into the chassi of an 50s radio/recordplayer furniture.
In this i want to use Finger VU 436 as interface while im standing by the htpc, actually im gonna build it into the chassi next to a turntable and some mixing desk knobs, so that i can change music and do other things without turning on my big screen.
For using the big screen i will have a i-mon mini reciever by the screen and use a imon pad.
The problem is that i know that Finger VU also has ir reciever, so i might end up waste my money to buy it when suddenly i will have constant crashes.
My questions is:
1. Can i turn of (disable) the reciever in the VU 463 from software, without disabling the VU 463?
2. If not, can i do it from hardware easily (open the finger VU 463 and unplug it, or put something that totaly covers the reciever, like tape and glue?
I know that a later finger VU product is produced without the receiver, but this product is to large for my htpc project both aestethically and functionally.
Lastly i would like to say that i think i-mon pad is a superior remote to any other ive tried, and its just pity that you dont release a bluetooth version, or something with bigger range, of it. Also i think the software (imon and imedian) is superior, but here its really sad that you dont put energy into solving the problems of playing blu ray and of getting internal tv to work, cause u have to have these features to compete with other software, and it would be sad if imon-products would dissapear because u made the wrong analyzes of what has priority.
Kind Regards
