[mythtv-users] MythTV, LIRC and TiVo

[Graham W. Mitchell]

I was wondering what type of TiVo remote you have...? Is it a TiVo peanut one, or a DirectTivo one, Sony, Phillips, or what...? I am also wondering what kind of receiver you are using as well? I am using an AST/Logitech one, which I gather 'should' work. I've tried posting on the LIRC list, but I'm wondering if my sub is messed up, as I've had no messages thru from it.

Thanks for any info you have, and for taking the time to reply.

Thanks for the file... I've given it a try tonight, and still getting errors.... I've also managed to get irrecord to work, but I'm getting 'timeout reading byte X' where X is various different values depending on which key I am pressing..

Here's what I've been using:

I made it using irrecord without any problems. You may have some other
issues if that's not working...
