Trying to enable RC6 IR for PCTV T2 290e

2015-11-15 Thread Chris Rankin
Hi, My Hauppauge RC5 remote control finally broke, and the PCTV T2 290e's native RC5 remote control isn't suitable for VDR, and so I bought a cheap RC6 remote as a replacement. The unit I chose was the Ortek VRC-1100 Vista MCE Remote Control, USB ID 05a4:9881. I've been able to switch the PCTV
