I can't get this remote to work. I am running the latest version of Knoppmyth with no results. Which Hauppauge remote should I select? Any help would be great.

What does the remote look like? If you open the battery compartment and look inside do you see something like "A415-HPG"? Is it fatter in the middle than on the ends or narrower? Are the colored buttons in a square or a line? You're really not giving us much to go on.

If it looks like this picture and the sensor plugs into the PVR-250 board then it's probably the silver remote (type 16 c when you run lirc-reconfig.sh).


If it looks like this picture and the sensor plugs into the USB port it's an MCE remote.

The remote says R808-HPG-S on the inside of the battery compartment.

OK, that's the old "grey" remote just like I have. Rerun lirc-reconfig.sh as root and tell it type "16" (Hauppauge) "b" (grey remote). Frankly most of these remotes look silver/grey to me, which is why we started using pictures and descriptions.

It didn't work!

Got it to work by running irw from SSH terminal. Hope this experience will help others.

Where you doing it as mythtv originally? You generally need to do stuff like this as root.
