Im building a media centre with my old (1st gen) mac mini.

I have added an MCE IR receiver so can control the mac with an Apple remote (using Mira to help)

This works amazingly well, but I would like to be able to use the IR Blaster functionality of the MCE IR receiver to control my TV, aircon etc via my mac.

Does anyone know of any way to do this?

They use the IR receiver with the apple remote.

They haven't enabled blasting yet, but it may come.
