Xbox Media Center IR On/Off Hack
By Alexander Grundner |
May 4th, 2007 
Running XBMC on your original Xbox game console? Then might as well go ahead and hack it some more and add an IR remote on/off switch (I never understood why Microsoft neglected to add this feature) using the XIR Easy Kit (MSPR $35.65). Quinten Uijldert explains the process in great detail, and with plenty of process photos (via Automated Home). Of course, this requires the Xbox DVD Remote Kit. All-in-all, this hack makes for a great weekend project. BTW, if you don’t have an Xbox to hack, these days you can pick up one up for around $40 used on eBay.
