I know what an IR blaster is, I am merely questioning how it would work from the Kinect. I thought what he meant was that the Kinect actually fires the signal, which I don't have full confidence in. I am well aware that you can just get a wire there and tape it to the box to produce the signal, that is how my system works (not that I use it, I much prefer the physical controls of an actual TV remote)

Oh sorry I misunderstood. In that case as far as I know they have seen the IR port on the back of the xbox one so I dont know why it would use kinect.

Well the idea solution is to use the Kinect, it is just much easier to set up. He said the IR port is there if you need it, so maybe that is just if you have you boxes in a closed cupboard or something and the Kinect should work in all other circumstances
