I am writing this as a warning to anyone trying IR Receivers and remotes for there frontend systems.
My setup: I have a backend system with all my 250s in it, an Xbox frontend, and a normal PC frontend. All systems (besides Xbox) running FC2 with 2.6.10 kernels. I have tried two or three remotes from for my PC frontend. Since it does not have a 250 in it I needed a remote and a receiver. I have read in this list that these recievers / remotes where working and I felt I needed to also post back to the list with feedback with my experiences. I have tried the following remotes: MCE Remote and receiver. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=80-100-202&depa=0 This is a new Phillips model and I have confirmed (from reading the lirc mailing list) that this receiver does not work. The older Microsoft Media Center remote may, I don�t have one of those. StreamZap Remote: There is a patch for this remote for the 2.6.10 kernel and lirc however I could never get it to work. I email the person who made the patch but never got a response. At this point I am not sure what I am going to get for this frontend. I may build an IR receiver or look for another solution. If anyone has any suggestions I would be more than willing to try them. This by far has to be the most frustrating part of setting up my frontend system. -Matt B www.mattsshack.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
