Using the remote to do other things.

[mike4352]

I have specifically 2 other things I would like my Hauppauge remote (45 button) to do.

I would like to be able to "eject" the dvd drive from the remote, I would also like to be able to power down the TV/computer directly from the remote.

Anyone know if either of these are possible?

The goal would be to hit the "Power" button on the remote, and have the TV shut off, and do a Shutdown on the computer.

The Hauppauge remote is not a universal remote so I doubt you'll get the power button to work with your TV or any other device other than the Hauppauge remote receiver.

You should be able to map any button on your remote to the eject command in Sage in Detailed Setup under the remote commands.

The eject command is not used by the Windows version; I believe it is for Linux only.

To eject a disk or shut down the PC, you would have to have the remote configured to run some utilities that could perform those functions.
