I'm using IR server suite to translate commands from an X10 remote to control my TV, cable box and amp. I'm using GBPVR because I cannot get MediaPortal stable on my system. I don't have enough buttons on my remote.
As far as I can see there are 3 alternatives
1. Multimapping with IR suite. However, this seems to work only through the MediaPortal plugin, so is unavailable to me. Is there any way I could get this working?
2. Multimapping with an X10 remote. This would be my preferred option, but I can't find any X10 remotes that have more than 1 channel (I don't even know the correct terminology to search for). All the "multi" X10 remotes I can find seem to have one set of X10 commands and several IR channels. Does anyone know of any (cheap, if possible) X10 remotes that can send a different set of commands for each mode?
3. Multimapping with an IR remote. I use a USB-UIRT to control my various external devices. That points at the TV, cable box etc, so I can't use it to receive commands from a remote as well. I also have a Hauppauge remote receiver (not blaster) and I use the Hauppauge remote to control GBPVR. I've got the Hauppauge receiver selected in Input Service Configuration, but I can't get it to learn commands, using either the Hauppauge remote or various third party IR remotes.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
