I'm wondering if I could just tell it I'm using a Phillips 1st generation Tivo (the remote I am currently using came from this system), then make manual changes to the buttons/layout as necessary? I think this would be the easiest way, since I already have the appropriate config files on my MythTV box, but it would mean more time using the Harmony software interface to get things right. Or perhaps use the PVR-remote config files from Jarod's site, but I'm not sure if the signals are compatible with my IR receiver.
If anyone currently has config files for the harmony and a serial IR adapter and could send them my way, I'd really apprechiate it. Nate _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
