UIRT question

I'm going to get a UIRT to control some of the equipment in my closed due to the fact that the HDMI CEC device I got is somewhat flaky. Well, more than somewhat...

Anyway. Have you guys had good experiences with the device? All I want it for is to control my little media streamer and my receiver until I get one I can control with rs232 or HTTP.

If anyone has other suggestions I'd gladly welcome them. I'd love to be able to control everything with rs232 or HTTP, but I don't think any media streamers support that, or it isn't advertised.

What do you guys think?

I'm using the USB-UIRT to control a Motorola cable box for years and I don't remember the last time it missed a channel "in fact i don't think it ever have missed a channel"

I've been using the UIRT for changing channels on 3 boxes and use it for my remote control and it hasn't failed me in 8 years.
