I have my silver hauppage remote working great with my PVR-150, but can't get any other remote to work with this IR receiver.

using irrecord utility, I can also pick up the signals off the hauppage remote, which makes sense.. but ANY other remote I have, a Tivo, Tivo 2, Toshiba Television remote and Sony DVD remote it says it can't detect the GAP.

So, I am comming to the conclusion that this Hauppauge IR receiver is somehow hard-wired to only understand the Hauppauge remote.

Anyone have any insight?

I happily use a universal remote w/ my Hauppauge receiver. I believe the Hauppuage use "jp5". The remotes you are trying probably don't. Google is your best bet.

Care to share the name of your universal remote?

I would of loved to used my old tivo remote...

Hmmm...not sure if this applies to you...I have a pvr-350 card, and I used the Radio Shack remote recommended here:

I programmed it using the original Hauppauge remote. Works great. It cost $30.00, and not only does it work for Myth, but I also have it running all my other components. I truely have a single remote running myth, tc, cable box, receiver(limited, but does what I need), and DVD.

Heck, my wife uses it, so there is the biggest testament that it works well

Ditto. Except I don't have Snapperdragon's wife.

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated.

I didn't think that I could get any universal-learning remote and just have it record the IR off my hauppauge so that its using the exact same protocol.

I may have try this out.

I still would like to figure out how to use my existing DirecTivo remotes, but I can't find which protocol those use and then once I did have to find a purchasable IR receiver that can talk to those.

I really don't want to home-brew an IR receiver to a serial port...

Something easy and USB would be nice, or PCI... or serial, but a dongle I buy, not build.

I think with other multifunction remotes you have to use certain phillips or magnovox codes to get the right type. then I believe you have to record a new lircd.conf file to match the remote codes.
