I came across this over at remotecentral:
http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboar...thread.cgi?1538
and this one that referenced DVDLobby:
http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboar...light=DVPCX995V
It seemed to imply a few things:
1. That IR control of the changer was possible, through DVDLobby (and I would assume any other controller such as CQC if there was an IR blaster or the like).
2. The Harmony 880 can control this with an uploaded DVD listing. I have one of these and was pleasantly surprised to hear this.
The 995 is around $300, whereas the RS-232 version is around $540. I like the RS-232 support but at almost twice the price (and keeping in mind once this path is started, I may wind up with a few of them) I am hesitant. If IR control will work it seems like the way to go.
Anyone else have any experience with the above options?
The 880 support alone is tempting me. I have a lower model upstairs that I am curious if it will also support that list (a Harmony 520 I think) as then I can modulate the DVD's and still have control. It would tie me over until I finish the infrastructure and work on the software control of everything.
