Gen 2 remote - IR functions

by Greylights888

Could anyone clarify how the IR works on the new Shield TV remote?

There are no new buttons, so how do you send a signal for, say, TV power on/off?

This is a big deal for me - Nvidia are on the cusp of giving me a 100% perfect media remote...

I'm very interested in hearing how this works too.

AFAIK the IR is just for volume control. You can configure to use that instead of CEC.

Upvoted and very interested. In fact, I am thinking about using this with a Nexus Player. If it can power on/off my TV then it's fantastic....

+1 Settings have an option to use remote for TV power, but how? I tried randomly pressing things... no luck.
