IR or IRDA?

[juggler]

This may be a stupid question, but does the V+ remote use IR or IRDA signals? I ordered the box today and asked the question but the response was "not really sure".

Currently have all my equipment neatly hidden away under the stairs and use a Bluedelta smart-blaster to control everything, I'm hoping that won't have to change.

From what I was told they us IRDA.

The V+HD box uses standard RC5 IR signalling (i.e., not IrDA). The vast majority of remote senders should work fine.

Thanks for the info, looks like I may be able to keep the living room free of the tangled mess of cables!!!

.......but as I understand it, with HDMI enabled there is no output from the scart sockets. Therefore, if this is correct, we will not be able to use a video sender to send audio and video to a second tv.

If this is correct we may have hit on the first real advantage that the SKY HD box has over the V+. There is full ouput from the scart on the SKY HD box and it allows full control from the remote TV if fed through a standard video sender.
