So how does that work? Where do you point the IR blaster, since my projector, amp and cable box are all in different places.
I've never got along with universal remotes, program a sequence to turn everything on but still have to point it in the right directions while it's going through the steps, pointless.

Since everyone has commented so far, I'll provide an answer.

The Kinect itself is capable of doing the IR blasting.   Remember (or if you didn't know) Kinect comes with three IR lights on the front.  These are capable of lighting up a room for night vision on the Kinect.  Using those lights, Kinect is capable of sending out a signal to control your AV device.  It would be interesting if it worked with your projector, depending on where it is.  If it's in front of the sitting area, it might be challenging depending on how close it is to the TV.  If it's above or behind it, it'll probably work no problem.

The plug-in IR Blaster is only necessary if HDMI CEC or Kinect don't work.

??? if he has a projector he probably doesn't have a TV in front of it.... my 2 cents :D
