Re: 14-button serial interface

[Peter A. <pe...@le...>]

Thanks for the quick reply!
Unfortunatly i can't write a single line of code. What i'm looking for is
a solution thats working with mythtv, xine and mplayer "out of the box"
(like lirc). If anyone has any suggestions of other software i would
really appreciate hearing them.

Thanks
