Looking to do the plunge into IR/home theater with HS/HSP/HS PCI Voice Modem (currently have installed) and, from the posts, it looks like I need to order an Ocelot and Secu16 as it seems to be the best way to go. I am currently using a dedicated HS PC with weather station and Temp05 alive and working. 30 feet from HS to TV and same distance to viewing area(10 feet for TV to couch). Got a Toshiba DVD and Toshiba RP model 50H81. Looks like discreet IR may not work with the Toshiba stuff so may need to use probes for on/off monitoring.
Qestions:
1. What probes/sensors can I use with the Secu16 and how far from the Secu16 can they be?
2. I read a thread about somebody making their own current sensors. Is this reliable and if not what probes/sensors would you recommmend for the Secu16?
3. Would the IR-MAX sofware be better than C-MAX for this use?
I was planning to use a hardwired IR emmitter at the couch end and then hardwire the probes into the SECU16. How far from the Ocelot can the Secu16 be? 20 or 30 feet or is that pushing it too far?

Your help would be appreciated. Thanks...
