Yeah, but I also have a real mythtv front end. Transcoding down to stereo and lower resolution would be, well, ok for most of the shows. But there are those which I would like to keep in HD / 5.1 sound. >> --- >> >> Humm, I'm beginning to warm up to your idea, I might have to go out and >> buy another OTA ATSC tuner today! >> > > The biggest issue I have ran into it getting an IR blaster that works, the > one > one the PVR150's only works for a pre-defined set of remotes (supposely), and > I > also have mceusb2 variant that I though would work, it works for input, but > the > 2 transmitters don't work at all, and others report that this is also the > case > for them. Really? Well, with having no luck at all w/what I'm doing I can't argue. But, unlike an IR receiver, an IR transmitter is usually not much more than an inferred LED and a resistor. I could probably cobble one together from the junk found in the basement (hummm, maybe I should try that for my ReplayTV effort above...). As for the codes, I assumed under Linux there would be drivers that support codes found at the JP1 site (hifi-remote.com). If true, you should be able to control all but the most exotic devices (i.e. devices that use off frequency carriers). > And the big advantage for me would be that anything brought in this way would > not need to be transcoded.
