Hello everybody! I have a Sony Bravia remote, the RM-ED006 one. I want to use it to control my future HTPC. I want to know if I need an especial receiver or all the receivers works. I have been looking for receivers and I search all with a remote, but I just need a USB receiver (without the remote). Where I can buy a USB receiver for the RM-ED006 remote? Are there different receivers? Best or worst? Thanks for all! -- Josu Lazkano |

They typically always come bundled with a remote, but you can just lay it aside. The receiver works with pretty much any ir signal you can throw at it, your Sony remote should definitely work with it. The only other USB receiver I'm intimately familiar with is the iMON receivers, and they're nowhere near as flexible in what they'll receive. The USB IguanaIR and CommandIR II also come to mind as options, but I'm less familiar with either of those. The CommandIR II is probably overkill (and over $$$) for what you need, its got 4 IR transmitters, and iirc, it doesn't accept as wide a range of signals as the MCE receivers. [*] lirc_mceusb2 in lirc 0.8.5 and earlier for most of them, lirc_mceusb for the original receiver, then in 0.8.6, they're all supported by a single lirc_mceusb driver. -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wi... |

Thanks for your reply. I search this page: http://fanshop.ocinside.de/ They sold diferent models includind USB. This will work with LIRC? Someone has buy one of this?

Thanks again. This one will work for my remote? http://cgi.ebay.es/IR-Remote-Control-Receiver-4-Microsoft-Media-Center-MCE_W0QQitemZ290335128991QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item4399527d9f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 I wrote to http://fanshop.ocinside.de/ to ask if my remote will works with the receiver and this is the reply: ###me## Hello, I am watching your solders kit, and I am interesting. I have a HTPC with Debian Lenny connected to a Sony Bravia tv. I have the Sony remote (RM-ED006), I want to use it control the HTPC. It has four switch buttons: DVD, VCR, AMP and TV. I use TV one for the TV and the AMP for the Sony A/V receiver. i wnat to use VCR for the HTPC. Wich product I need? Is compatible with LIRC? I have a electrical soldered, is enough with this? Sorry for my english and thanks for all. ###me### ###http://fanshop.ocinside.de/### Hello Josu, it's necessary to have a RC5 coded signal for the infrared receivers and not SIRC. So if it's an universal remote (possible to control other devices with this remote), you should program the remote for example to an Philips TV (RC5 coded). Then you can use all infrared receivers. If this remote is only for Sony devices, it's not possible to use it for the receivers.

Thanks for the link, I am going to buy this one. I am using Debian Lenny with Lirc 0.8.3, it will work with my remote? The remote is a Sony RM-ED006. I need to install some other software? Modules?
