IR Controller found!
I've spent the last month or so looking around for an inexpensive solution to controlling all the equipment from the ipod touch, either via the mac mini, or from some ethernet based device like the Global Cahce IR controller. I finally stumbled onto something really inexpesive and simple. It's called the ZephIR. It's a USB IR trasmitter made specifically for the Mac. It includes an online database of control codes for a lot of standard product (though surprisingly not the tivo) and a IR learner function. It also supports applescript so it should make integration pretty easy. I've run some tests and it works perfectly. One concern I have was that with only one transmitter I might not be able to hit all the pieces of equipment but mayme with a stategically placed mirror I'll be ok.
