It isn't true that only very obscure and trashy remotes have the buttons in the wrong order. I've got a Sony TV where the colours are arranged in a sort of cross layout with green above blue and red and yellow at the sides. It's a good quality remote that I think was used with a number of different models of Sony TV set and it was definitely designed to support teletext. I've got another remote with the wrong order which came with a KWorld DVB card bought from Maplins, a major high street electronics chain. That remote isn't really usable with VDR anyway though, because the colours are also play, pause, stop and record. I suppose they didn't think that people would use teletext or MHEG while watching a recording, and there is no standard for the way that VDR uses the colours. I can't use the remote that came with my other card (Hauppauge) because the current kernel/DVB drivers aren't compatible with it (for at least the 2nd time in hstory). So I'm making do with a wireless keyboard until that's fixed. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
