Here's a thought...one of my dvb cards is a twinhan that came with a remote and USB ir receiver. Has any one ever tried this receiver & remote on an xbox? I would assume that I would need to boot straight to linux as XBMC would not recognise it. Can some one pint me in the direction of the lirc config files for the Myth and a twinhan remote.

"The drawback to using the XBox DVD receiver is that it only responds to the subset of buttons that are on the original remote, so you are stuck (AFAIK) with only a subset of functionality." This does not seem to be true, at least not on the Microsoft XBox DVD dongle that I have. Using the extended codes for the type of receiver that the XBox uses, I was able to program every button (about 30 of them) on a All-In-One URC-6131 remote control to have a unique code, and all buttons were recognized by lirc. (I used the same technique as I have on my website, www.vulturesnest.net, except that I used the Microsoft DVD code, instead of RC-5). I expect that the Radio Shack remotes would work the same way, since they use the same codes. -- Joe --- Greg Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply.
