BTW, anyone know of a good audio-quality IR or IP-activated 120V switch?
I wound up buying the RedEye and kind of like it. The ability to do everything via http command is actually quite powerful, so writing a customized control interface is as easy as making a web page. I figured out how to do IP control of my mac mini as well, so I am not limited to the IR remote commands. I did this using the gnu version of netcat, which allows you to create a listening process, and have it hand off incoming commands to a unix shell interpreter. What that means in essence is that anything I can shell script, I can now do by remote control from my laptop's web browser, or via my iPad or iPod touch. Embedding applescript commands in a shell script is fairly straightforward, so it gives me more or less complete control via the interface, so there is very little I need to do with a VNC program.

I know you meant to recommend it, but you just made it sound like it is only appropriate for programmers. There are universal remotes that are just that -- they are not user programmable and require a technician to set up and/or change. Is this one of those?
