I don't know what you mean by "use the HDMI-CEC (Pulse-Eight or RCAware) with Amulet".  How would you use such a device with Amulet?

There is no relationship between Amulet and HDMI CEC communication as far as I know, unless your TV is somehow able to pass IR messages that it receives to your computer.  I have no knowledge in this area.

As the previous information, I made some queries on Amazon and found many MCE IR devices.
I decided to put some down because I'm not sure if all work the way you want.

I also found this other product

What is your opinion about them?

I thought of the possibility of using the HDMI-CEC (Pulse-Eight or RCAware) with the Amulet but afraid to not work.
What is your opinion?

Hi jitterjames,

Really had forgotten the need for an IR receiver. For a moment I thought only the USB dongle solve all the problems.
I would like to take a course on the integration entreo the Amulet X EventGhost.
You said you use USBUIRT to receive the IR signal. But this only works with this device or any IR receiver or only the USBUIRT or MCE IR receive?
You said the MCE IR would receive but cheap but just found it being sold on Amazon with the remote control. Not only found the receiver.
You know let me know if the Pulse-Eight or RCAware devices work well for my Samsung TV has Anynet + HDMI-CEC.

Thanks

If you would like another opinion, you can try asking here: http://www.xbmcbrasil.net/

Hello jitterjames,

Thank you for the suggestion. Before I consider buying an array of microphones, looked at Amulet on Amazon and not found.
I have also watched some videos of a Brazilian who also uses this control. I quite cool.
That day I found him in the manufacturer own site. Surely this is the best option.
I would love to take some doubts about it with you.
From what I understand, it is possible to set some control buttons of my TV at Amulet (keys power, volume, etc).
It works as an IR control for the TV?
The USB dongle is only for the vox command or has other features?

Thanks

I want to ride my htpc with XBMC but I still have doubts about the microphone.
Reading some post here found interesting Andrea Superbeam Array Microphone, MXL AC404 USB and the USB CAD U7.
I wonder of staff who have one of these opinion.
Generally watch TV in a distance of 3 to 4 meters. Some days I get a little farther around 5 meters.
The big issue here is that I noticed that the microphone has to be able to function in a muted and the environment where I'm watching a movie in a medium to high volume environment.
I live in Brazil, have a higher cost to import this product. So I would like to have more information to not end up buying a product that is bad.

Thank you
