    Very cool that you were able to do it with the existing hardware!

    I built one a while back for my HTPC with an Arduino for my Android phone. I configured a custom remote via Unified Remote to do the button layout (I was already using the app to control the PC). I smile every time I turn the TV on with my phone.
