Oh, I just use the camera on my cell phone. It can "see" the IR, and with that, the image on its screen shows it lighting up (or not).

...I have a program for the Palm OS... ...You can test IR devices with it. Run it and you then point the suspect device at your Palm's IR rcvr and you see:

A graphical indicator
Signal strength

It's quite handy to troubleshoot whether a remote is bad, low batteries, or just a single button is going bad on an otherwise ok remote.[/size][/color]

Personally,I wouldn't dismiss its' usefulness before ever even trying it out...
