Unfortunately, I don't know how lirc works, because I haven't studied the source code. Therefore, I'll use one of our "favorite" concepts in the software industry, that of the "black box". This is what happens: 1. You press the button on the remote 2. The IR receiver receives the IR pulses from t

Hmmm.  Not to beat a dead horse here, but I'm stil not clear on how this mapping takes place.  Bear with me for a sec I understand that we have programmed the remote to send code 240 when the sleep button is pressed.  How the lirc kernel knows that code 240 maps to x'166' (sleep) in lirc.con

Joe,  Thanks for the info.  That fact that the buttons can have arbitrary names explains a lot. I'm wondering how I will know what kernel modules support this 3rd party IR receiver?  The seller said it works with mythtv, so it probably does.  If I hack my Hauppauge IR sensor to connect via seria

1. No, it will not work the same. You will need to load in different kernel modules that support the new IR receiver. 2. You program those codes into the remote. Since you have an All-For-One remote, you would use these instructions (which I copied from my website): a) Press the device button you

Based on recommendations I found here, I bought the One For All URC-8910 remote from Amazon.com.  Nice remote. Then, following Jarod's instructions at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/remotes.php, I set everything up and it works just fine. Since Jarod's site conveniently spoon-fed all the configuratio
