    lintronic or IRTrans?

    Reply Contact

    Hiya,

    Can anyone recommend one over the other?  I want to be able to control:

    B&O stereo

    Mac Mini

    Toshiba TV

    Humax piece of junk cable box

    I think that's about it.  Is there any reason to choose one over the other?  I don't have a PC, just 5 Macs, if that makes a difference.

    Bump.  Surely someone has an opinion.  Also, does one or the other require that it be attached to a computer all the time?

    The LinTronic box shall inly be connected to a computer during programming. For daily use it only needs a power supply.

    Hi,

     

    it depends on the model of IRTrans you use. I use an IRTrans Translator, which has to be connected to a computer only for programming. I prefer the IRTrans, because I have no RS-232 on my PCs. IRTrans works over USB.
