str0be Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Hi all.. Just a quick post to let you all know that i have finally moved in to my house, and set up all my gear... I haven't got a net connection at home, and have a heap of finished shots on my SLR but forgot to bring it to work... Here is a pic of my HT room just after i set it up (yes, its still a mess in this shot). SEE HERE I have since (Saturday) added a PS3 to the equipment list aswell.. I will be picking up a new sub (Seismix 3) as soon as I sell the old speakers. I will be posting more pics when I remember to bring my SD card to work (or thursday when my net connection gets turned on!) Let me know what you all think :-)
jayweb Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Let me know what you all think :-) Nice work str0be, I dont know why you have tissues on the subby, no need for tears with that setup. A little off topic but can you get the harmony to work with the Ps3 for Blu Ray viewing???
jaenschw Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 That looks like Erky and Perky up on the screen there! Nice setup there, enjoy!

PS3 doesn't have IR, the remotes for these are Bluetooth.. I'm hoping some smart cookie out there will program some software for mobile phones that will allow a mobile phone to act as a blu-ray remote for the PS3 :-)

From memory the IR receiver is connected to the PS3 via USB.
str0be Posted May 26, 2008 Author Posted May 26, 2008 So are the PS3 Blu Ray remotes bluetooth as well....bummer, now I'll have to add another remote. Her indoors wont like that...... i just found this on a website... Universal remote fans -- after trying a Logitech Harmony remote, we can't go back to one-remote-per-device -- will run into trouble on the PS3; its standard remote works over Bluetooth, not IR. So the PS3 remote gains the ability to work in other rooms, but it loses the universal appeal of IR blasting. Remote Central documents the process of adding an old PS2 IR receiver so that you can use that PS2 remote -- or a universal model -- with the PS3.The steps seems simple enough; all it takes is the PS2 IR receiver dongle and the PS2-to-PS3 gamepad adapter. The translation loses some of the functionality of the PS2 remote -- 14 common commands work, but 35 don't -- but it may be enough to watch Blue-ray movies with a universal remote.
