I was just thinking to use my Nova-T Remote on the (receiver-less) frontend: I 
wanted to install an IR receiver and use the available remote as emitter. 
Technically, there should not be a problem (correct me if I'm wrong), and if 
your are used to your remote, stick with it, just get the receiver (~5Euros). 
I'd apreciate to know if my plans somehow might not work...!
