Can I get my MX850 to work with my Blu-Ray player on my PS3?

Since it says it's capable of transmitting RF frequency, I was wondering if it had a chance of working. But I wouldn't know how to set it up. Plus, there's mention on their site of needing a base station and all that, but I was just wondering if there's a chance.

Taken from Universal Control's website (http://www.universalremote.com/product_detail.php?model=38):

No More Pointing - RF Capabilites

Radio Frequency (RF) operation provides up to 100' range though walls, floors and doors, indoors or outdoors. Self-adhesive "emitters" affix to the infrared sensors on the front panels of your components. The emitters relay IR commands to components out of sight to the MRF-250's/MRF-300's RF base station front blaster. The emitters plug in to the MRF-250's/MRF-300's RF base station rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot cables. Six flashers with visual feedback are included with each MRF-250/MRF-300 RF base station.

No. The PS3 is Bluetooth and not RF. Even if the PS3 was RF then the answer would still be no.

You could however plug in the device that is talked about in this thread

and then use an IR emitter to control your PS3.
