Infrared Options?

[WinkWink726]

Hey... so, for the sake of preserving battery life, I just want to make sure that the IR is turned off.

So how does one go about doing that?

this is probably going to save you like 2 seconds of battery life 😉 a infrared receiver doesent take up power at almost all... 😀 And i don't think it gets powed off, it just doesent get adresessed by the OS anymore... so its not going to do you any good 😀

you know that you can PAIR a remote witha mac so you can only use one remote for the mac and one for the TV?

I am assuming you have two remotes...
