Please use this as a feedback thread for the Revo guides posted here. Any corrections, additions or requests welcomed

Don't know if this is the right place to put it but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's putting this together. There's obviously a lot of knowledge about the Revo in the DF Hive mind and I'd rather glean it from here than google. Nice one guys.

No problem mate, just giving back to DF

Great idea. Makes life a tad easier than hassling EvilStan all the time for answers! Cheers matey,

Gonna go thru these later to see if I can improve my setup.

Using a slightly different way than explained, but have DVXA enabled finally and all is well!
Any recommendations for IR Receivers for Harmony remote controls?

Once this is indexed by Google new members will flock to DF!

Any recommendations for IR Receivers for Harmony remote controls?

I did this in a bit of an arse backwards way. Bought a cheapo remote + receiver from ebay (£9.90 delivered) and got it all set up working perfectly with xbmc, then I just added a new device in the harmony setup and learned all of the ir commands from the cheapo remote.

Job done

Great thread that feedback, thanks a lot guys for setting it up.

I would point out on the PS3 remote one though, that you will chew through batteries as it will not send the sleep state to the bluetooth remote and after about 2 days you'll have eaten batteries :

Taken from the end of the PS3 guide mate

Hold the PS button on the remote for 6 seconds to make it sleep (save battery life). It will wake when you press any button.

Took this root in the end. Will just get my Harmony working from the HP remote.

Next stop... Denon AVR-1910 with some Kef 3005's!! Woop!

--EDIT--
Did want one the size of the mini Bluetooth dongles you can get, but they are not available - so far as I can tell.
