    Hello,
    I have LG S1 Express Dual, and I've recently bought an Xtreamer.
    The problem is that whenever I turn off the Xtreamer with its remote control, it turns off my computer as well... :eek:

    Is your computer pluged into a power port the extremer supplies?

    If so change the plug, lots of cable boxes are like that.

    If thats not the case, I guess your computer has an IR port? If so just cover it up or disable it.

    yes, I have an IR Port (sorry, thought it was obvious).

    anyway to disable it?

    Many

    > Disable it in your task manager.

    > Uninstall the software/driver for it

    > Block it with something like tape

    > Unhook it physically from the computer if its not part of the motherbord

    easier said than done.
    do you know the name of the APP (which btw, LG does not supply)?
    or the driver, for that matter...


    anyway, all those methods are just ridiculous - how would I use it...?
