I see I must to do it all trough the virtual devices. This is probably working for the new TVs which can be controlled by the TCP\IP right? Ok, but what about for example DVD player. There is no device like this which support TCP\IP I think. So I can't create the program to use it. How can I control it then?

I read about iRDA booster or what is the name of it, but there are 3 things why I would like to do it another way.

1- I am not sure if this iRDA booster works with HCL. Don I need LUA to control it?

2- I coldn't find the seller in europe who can offer wholesale of this product. If this is the only way to do it, I will need to buy many of this devices.

3- because why? If there is another way how I can do it with old devices and not to spend 200euros, it would make me really happy

Milos797, control of AV devices that do not support TCP/IP or another way of communication but have IR control can only be done with Global Cache (or similar) modules. They work with HCL and are capable of learning new IR codes.
