[QUOTE="perky, post: 1117977, member: 145880"] The remote control just sends IR pulses (on and off), currently you have IR receiver circuitry in the PCI card (the thing you actually plug into that by the way is literally just an IR phototransistor or diode). What you can do instead is use a separate USB receiver to receive those pulses, and an application like EventGhost or IRSS can then see the pulses, decode them, and map the received codes to actions in MP. MP can then control the tuner card via PCI as it needs to. I am using a TBS6285 quad tuner with an Inteset remote control with EventGhost - it works well (before that I had a VideoMate E750 card which came with its own remote control, but again I used EventGhost with another remote to control it). It's really not that difficult to set up, it's not a lot of work in reality - just follow the steps in my previous post (I've not used IRSS but probably similar). Get yourself a USB receiver to start with though, something like this: [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-External-Infrared-IR-Receiver-Only-with-Cable-/330566531591?pt=US_Remote_Controls_Pointers&hash=item4cf74cfa07[/url] Note: IrDA receivers almost certainly [B]won't[/B] work, they are designed for much high data rates to the IrDA specification. You need CIR (commercial infra-red) types, ones that either come free with a remote controller, or sold separately quoted as working with a remote contoller. These use the RC6 protocol which most remotes use. Also don't buy 'repeaters', they usually simply use USB for power. If you're looking for a backlit learning multifunction remote to use Inteset do a couple of nice models (I've got the cheaper INT413 which is quite nice but needs to be aimed carefully at the receiver, apparently the INT422 is much better. Best to use lithium batteries with those too as they a fully backlit, great when viewing in the dark though): [URL='http://shop.inteset.com/remotes-receivers']http://shop.inteset.com/remotes-receivers [/URL] Available on eBay, although the INT422 is currently out of stock until Feb.
