Wouldn't bother. Its been tried before and srapped since the IR
is fairly weak on the Zoomer and not really useful for a remote control
application. There is a guy on this list who tried this and was talking
about it 6 months ago...

The HP 'LX family does a nice job as a remote control. Would be
nice to have the same software for the Zoomer but such is life.
