how to get your universal IR remote working on the PS3 “the easy way”
unknown wrote an interesting post today on
Here’s a quick excerpt
buy a cheap IR remote (15-20€) with usb receiver for the ps3
(for example nyko or bigben)
program your universal remote
throw away the el cheapo remote, keep the receiver
in my case
bought a “bigben ps3 remote”

programmed my harmony 525
added a new device, “game console with DVD”
configured activity “watch a dvd” to use this new device.
problems
didn’t work when you select “playstaion 3″ as the “game console with dvd”
solution : You have to select bigben with product code BB 251548 (or nyko bluwave if you bought a nyko).
every IR command to the ps3 was sent twice to the ps3. Handy.
solution : in the harmony remote software
go to troubleshoot device “game console with dvd”
go to … commands sent multiple times …
change value from 3 to 1
