Is this a dumb idea?


I'm not sure will be worth the bits it's written on but here goes. I just purchased a UR HTM MX-700 and one of my DVD players might not be in their database. I have a Panasonic DVD-F65K. I was wondering if it would be worth much to plug in an IR sensor (Serial or USB) and attempt to read the signals for each of the buttons sequences. From this it would be simple to generate a table for most any remote (yes/no) ? The IR HW costs about $40 U.S. + shipping and the software I could write myself.

Would this be helpful for anything?
