I used the lirc.conf file that came from Martin Blatter (the guy who wrote the mceusb2 driver - Google is your friend) and after adding the codes for the 2 extra buttons (obvious what they were as there was a break in the number sequence) it works great. Range is good, view angle is OK on the receiver - I think the remote itself has a quite narrow transmit beam so it has to be pointing the right way! Shame the IR blaster is not yet supported. On my list to run a usb tracer on a windows box to see what gets sent down the usb cable so I can drop the serial irsend for the sat box. I tried teaching it - had the same problem you had hence using the prepaid file :-)) -- Robin Gilks ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The PVR150 retail edition (model 1045) comes with a remote/Ir blaster, has a 1/8" stereo minijack for audio input (*sigh*), and a pretty box/warranty. There is, as Carl points out a new model 1062 retail "kit" which is a PVR150MCE card with a MCE compatible/certified USB IR remote/blaster/etc... designed for MCE 2005. To the original poster... If you just need the card itself and have no need for the remote control/blaster or have designs on other remote/etc... the pvr150MCE is pretty much "driver compatible" with the retail edition and you can save yourself a few bucks. e. -- http://www.byopvr.com ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] 150 or 150MCE
Some parts of the world have the mce retail for sale (for example New Zealand) which DOES include the remote - in my case a RC6 with a Philips USB receiver. lirc-0.7.2 supports the usb remote out of the box (no ir blaster yet though).

Re: [mythtv-users] 150 or 150MCE
There is a "kit" of the PVR-150MCE that comes with an MCE remote, versus the regular retail PVR-150 that comes with the Hauppauge remote. How this would be at retail, well, I don't know, I would think it would be more of an OEM or "white box" thing. http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150mcekit.html -- Joe --- Chris Ribe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My understanding is that the Media Center edition > doesn't come with a remote > - you are expected to use your Media Center remote > with it. > > On 10/15/05, Carl Fongheiser > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > On 10/15/05, Nick Rosier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > > On 16/10/05, Don Sheehan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > I am having trouble finding the answer in the > old threads to what is > > > > probably an easy question. > > > > > > > > Can I safely buy a WinTV 150MCE instead of the > higher priced 150? > > > > > > Depends on what you want/need; the main > differences are: > > > PVR150: remote, no radio > > > PVR150MCE: radio, no remote > > > > > > The retail PVR150MCE comes with the Media Center > remote and receiver. > > > > Carl Fongheiser > > > > > > > > ___ > > mythtv-users mailing list > > mythtv-users@mythtv.org > > > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > > > > > > > > ___ > mythtv-users mailing list > mythtv-users@mythtv.org > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > __ Yahoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] 150 or 150MCE
My understanding is that the Media Center edition doesn't come with a remote - you are expected to use your Media Center remote with it.On 10/15/05, Carl Fongheiser <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:On 10/15/05, Nick Rosier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 16/10/05, Don Sheehan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> I am having trouble finding the answer in the old threads to what is > probably an easy question.> > Can I safely buy a WinTV 150MCE instead of the higher priced 150?Depends on what you want/need; the main differences are:PVR150: remote, no radioPVR150MCE: radio, no remote The retail PVR150MCE comes with the Media Center remote and receiver.

[mythtv-users] 150 or 150MCE
I am having trouble finding the answer in the old threads to what is probably an easy question. Can I safely buy a WinTV 150MCE instead of the higher priced 150? What are the tradeoffs? Thanks! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
