That's to bad. I like the USB Infrared Toy as I have PIC knowledge and thought to share a HW project where the USB Infrared Toy was the center for all types of Mythtv features. It strikes me that this 1 device could be used to receive & send IR signals as well as control any number of Liquid Crystal or Vacuum Florescent Displays. I don't see the microsoft product doing that. So, to be clear ... Are you saying that the lirc command "irsend" is believed not to work with the USB Infrared Toy? -thanks On 11/04/2012 10:21 AM, Christ Schlacta wrote: > Usbuirt2 is a good option, as is mce based transceiver.
