I'm using the 2005mce usb remote that is so new that it has new buttons on it (look for enter and cancel buttons at the bottom). I used the lirc.conf file that came from Martin Blatter (the guy who wrote the mceusb2 driver - Google is your friend) and after adding the codes for the 2 extra buttons (obvious what they were as there was a break in the number sequence) it works great. Range is good, view angle is OK on the receiver - I think the remote itself has a quite narrow transmit beam so it has to be pointing the right way! Shame the IR blaster is not yet supported. On my list to run a usb tracer on a windows box to see what gets sent down the usb cable so I can drop the serial irsend for the sat box. I tried teaching it - had the same problem you had hence using the prepaid file :-)) -- Robin Gilks _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
