The remoter are something completely new at least to me. I tried to find some basic info regarding the different types of remoter and which are able to wake up a PC (also what hardware, like mobo, is required to achieve this) but without success. I am aware of Remote control reviews but would somebody spare a few minutes to explain (if it mater i ask about a Windows based system):
- which type of remote can wake up a PC (IR remotes can - any other?)
- whats the difference between a random IR remote and MCE remote?
- it is possible to wake up a system but does the motherboard need to support it or it is up to the receiver?
- i saw some motherboards have IR/CIR header - is such interface useful only for cases with integrated IR receiver?
- should i look for RC-6 remote and avoid RC-5 protocol remotes? In case RC-5 remotes are still available.
