G'day All,
after quite a bit of messing about with the IR, I had actually given up trying to get my myth box to control the Foxtel digital set top box (after upgrading from ye olde foxtel which worked perfectly).
I'd looked around on the net and found a file for some programmable remote made by Philips that was supposed to be about to control the Foxtel digital box, but of course it was in it's own file format (a CCF file). There are several tools about that will extract the IR codes as hex strings, and finally this morning I looked through some code that is supposed to send these IR codes via a special interface attached to a PocketPC device. Using this code as a guide I was able to produce a simple lircd.conf file that allows me to change the channels on again :)
If anybody is interested I can send them a copy.
Daniel
hi,
i don't have a foxtel digital receiver, but i'd like to know what tools/code you used to get the IR codes into a lirc format. i have a sony clie that i can use to "learn" remote codes, but haven't found an easy (read: lazy) way to convert those codes into something i can use in a lircd.conf file. anything you could send along to the list would be muchly appreciated!
thanks, stephen
