One thing I can always seem to find is my Nokia N900, one thing I can never find is my universal TV remote. It's probably because the price difference is around 495 US dollars.

What I was wondering, is if anybody currently is working on a Universal Remote application utilizing the N900's infrared port? Would really like to see something like this come out so I never have to worry about finding that old remote again, and so I can change TV channels in bars if somebody is watching "Women's Professional" anything. =)

a) Check out QtIrecco

b) If you change other people's channels, I hope the people watching are as responsible as you.

*Facepalm* Didn't see it in the devel repo!

I figured this would be a pretty quick thing to come out but didn't even notice it. Thanks guys.

I have downloaded QtIrreco. It is working fine but I have a JVC TV and I couldn't find it on the list. Is there any way to add it ?

I think there is a code that is called tv at the end . pick that and it will only work for power volume inpute mute channel. if you want other buttons you have to look for the make and model ..

And if you are tired of watching TV and want to turn off your TV quickly then look not further at TV-B-Gone For N900. It's a brilliant fun little application which quickly turns ANY European or US TV off.

Of course if you like you could try this app out at your local pub or Sports bar or even your local TV Store. (my personal favourite).
