Either tabs or a much larger and scrollable screen (Like the desktop) would be very nice (Or both )

Also i have another question, would it be possible to add eventrelated IR transmissions? For instance when qtirreco is running and the phone rings it would be very convenient to add a userconfigured command to mute the sound from the stereo.

Personally most of the stuff in my home are controlled by IR, stereo,tv,lights,windows and much more.
And just like Rafiyr, i also have a lot of IR equipment on my workplace. (Barcoprojectors, mediaplayers, smokemachines, lasers and such stuff) which brings up another question...

Could someone please make a tutorial on how to convert files from other remoteprograms like for instance http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/
And also how to configure a script for all-in-one RF/IR-reciever-IC's like for instance Holtek HT12 / PT2272 to qtirreco.

... I guess with these two tutorials amost every imaginable IR-device would easy be added to qtirreco and then with a cheap IR to RF converter then a lot of RF based equipment would also be controlled by qtirreco...
Hi electroaudio. The idea of muting the tv when a call comes in sounds great in theory but will probably not work well in practice since the IR port on the n900 needs direct line of sight and since it's fairly weak would be even worse than the tv remote itself.
I often avoid IR when it comes to automation since it's not very reliable I only wish that TV manufacturers ditch IR for Bluetooth or something similar but less power hungry. The only reliable IR signal that works from a good distance is the power button on the tv.
I currently use my ps3 (with play tv) with my n900 since I can use my n900 to turn on my ps3 wih bluemaemo to control it flawlessly. anyway, to answer your question about the tutorial, you need to use a pronto hex converter to use those codes. here is the program that will convert them for you for use with qtirreco
