[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 63322, member: 175235"] You could make a IR receiver/transmitter, record all the Sky+ control signals into the PC then reproduce them when needed. Kits are available that have the IR bulbs and circuitry, you would need some basic soldering skills to put them together. I looked into this last year (for freeview, not Sky+, but same idea) and the main problem was that the IR software was very fiddly and picky, and none of the ones I could see had any facility for scheduling an IR transmission (to change the channel when I wasn’t there) so I gave up on the idea. If you have Sky I would just use autoview in the personal planner, less fun, but probably more reliable. However as I said that was a while ago, there may be better software available now. [/QUOTE]
