[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1183136, member: 141969"] Thank you for taking the time to look at the IR signals and decode them. I have been irritated by this problem since I first started using WMC in 2009, so it is good to have a definitive answer. :) I now have to choose between using an MCE RC6 receiver with IRSS, or the Ortek/Hama. Since the MCE RC6 receiver will still suffer from the occasional malfunction on wake from sleep or hibernation, I am probably going to choose the Ortek/Hama for long-term use. I am not a fan of the Ortek/Hama remote, but it is possible to load the Ortek/Hama definitions into a One-for-All remote, and I would expect (not checked this yet) that the Harmony has definitions for the Ortek/Hama too. Out of the box, the Ortek/Hama has some deficiencies, but it is possible to overcome these by using an AutoHotKey script (which I have included with the Ortek/Hama config file that I provided in another thread). The only remaining disadvantage of the Ortek/Hama is the rather too-bright LED that flashes when a signal is received. :( But one cannot have everything... -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
