I'm using a sir dongle which plugs into the ir header on my motherboard with no problems. The particular one I'm using is an asus, but I have another which also works. I've seen adaptors available on the net for most MBs.

I'm using lirc 0.7pre, I learnt the codes from my sky remote, as all the ones I found on the net did not work. I'm also calling the channel.pl file directly from myth rather than the wrapper shell script.
If you are having a problem, try using lirc (irrecord) to learn your particular remote.


The header is atached to the PC via a lead salvaged from a scrap ps/2 mouse, and I'm using a ps/2 port on a slot plate again liberated from a scrap PC. Granted, it does not look nice, but it works.

BTW I'm thinking about moving my backend out of the living room. My sky box is connected presently via svideo. If I set the frequency ID on each sky channel to the uhf channel on the tuner, and change the input to the tuner, does anybody know if it will use the channel ID to send the commands to change, and select the correct rf channel on the tuner?
