Hi,

I would like to write a program to control my receiver through a
program on my computer with an IR device. In other words, to teach the
infrared device to send the specific codes to the receiver. That would
make it sort of like a universal remote if I can figure out what the
codes are. All that for fun.

Is there anything fundamentally flawed about this idea that would make
it not possible (i.e. codes are secret, infrared devices can't send
codes, infrared devices can't be controled by a computer, it's
illegal, etc.)

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
