Bravia:control receiver via TV's remote

by varmentos

Hello guys,

So here's the deal: I have a 55" Sony Bravia x700d series TV(Android TV),I want to control a satellite receiver using the TV's remote, so it should be either via an IR blaster or HDMI-CEC. The thing is that the TV didn't come with an IR blaster nor it has a port for it (although the same model in other countries comes with those), I also searched a lot to find a satellite receiver that supports HDMI-CEC but I found that those are extremely rare and expensive. What is your advice ? Would a USB IR blaster work?

Thanks in advance.

I think that Bravia comes with IR blasters. My in-laws just got one and were asking about them.
