| Post subject: | Remote control setup - will this work? |
All, I have my Knoppmyth running, I am able to watch TV, and I am able to change channels with the command line directv.pl script. My DirectTV signal is going into the Composite input of the WinTV GO card (I am not using the tuner) I have done Nothing with remote control setup yet. The WINTV GO card came with a REMOTE. Is this Remote just for the WINTV GO TUNER(which I am not using)?? Or can I use this remote to somehow send the command to do the directv.pl script?? Does LIRC solve this? I see that you have to pick which remote you have with LIRC, but how does it know that the Reciever is the WinTV GO card? Or do I have to have a separate IR detector somewhere? thanks -hunter |

The remote doen't control the tuner, it controls mythtv....simply sends keyboard commands tothe mythtv GUI. It will work |

Suppose you have a frontend with no tuner. Is there any hardware (card ?) that will get a remote IR to the Frontend Myth that's running ? |

Yes. There are actually several. The USB based remotes are the most common, but there are also serial port ones both commerical and home made, and possibly add in cards. |

Thanks tjc, I was aware of IR blasters going the other way, didn't know remote hardware by USB was available. (Or whether a Myth front end would listen to it...) |

Provided the remote is supported by lirc, you are good to go. You just need to configure lirc on the frontend. |

Thanks everyone. I feel I am making some progress, but a new question: I have the SILVER hauppauge remote, but I have the WINTV GO. Will the setup for a PVR150 (that also has a Silver remote) work for me? Or do I have to make changes somewhere? |
