So is this a hardware, or a driver issue? I'm imagining it's a driver issue since it wouldn't make sense to not use off-the-shelf components for the receiver itself. Could I use another driver that would treat it as a generic receiver? Are there no options here? Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/ |

Hardware. > I'm imagining it's a driver issue > since it wouldn't make sense to not use off-the-shelf components for the > receiver itself. The 'shelf' contains different receivers for different protocols. It's the same situation with Hauppauge IR receivers which use the RC-5 protocol. > Could I use another driver that would treat it as a generic > receiver? Are there no options here? Thanks. No. If you want the most flexibility, think about using a cheap serial IR receiver (this is what I do with my LC16M case) or a third party IR device which work with different IR signalling protocols. -- Nick MythTV Official wiki: http://mythtv.org/wiki/ MythTV users list archive: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin |
