Ehternet shield+USB Host+IR controller

Hello! I just want to buy a couple of Arduino stuffs to control TV or other IR devices.

For example,

  1. Main server sends a command to Arduino via Ethernet

  2. Arduino ( UNO + Ethernet shield + USB Host) is connected to IR USB controller.

  3. Arduino receives the off signal from main sever and gives signal to IR controller in order to turn off TV

Is that possible?

If something is wrong or other alternative way, please leave comments. Thanks : D

Why do you need USB Host - you can control IR LED from Arduino pin directly?

Thanks for your point. Can you let me know about it more specific? or Is there any blog to post it, the connection IR to Arduino?
