It is very frustrating as I would love to support this remote in my software Intelliremote but unless someone has any idea on how to hack the driver or DLL I think we are out of luck. I actually own one of these remotes for my HP Pavillion laptop and I tried everything I could think of to try and intercept its commands to re-reroute but came up empty. If anyone ever does figure it out or reverse engineers the HP Driver I would love the hear about it!
Sorry, I feel your frustration because it is a cool remote. |
And sadly, it gets worse-I have the TV tuner card, and the "large" remote that comes with it won't even work with XP media center (not exactly heartbreaking, since I can use the Hauppage remote just fine with it), but still...
