Ah nice. We were using a mouse/on screen kb for a minute before i got fed up and did some looking around. we also didn't have a TV remote so we thought we were killing two birds. Turns out you can only copy IR commands from another source, so I hit the bullet and bought a cheap 7 dollar remote too to program it that way were just using one device for the bedroom TV.
