[mythtv-users] IR Control of new Myth box

[Scott Rowe]

I'll take a stab.. For receivers, there's a lot of folks using homebrew,
hauppauge PVR-x50 dongles, Actisys, and irman. 

Personally, I'm using the PVR-250 on one box, and an irman on another. I've
used the homebrew transmitter as well. 

I'd recommend the irman. It's the most sensitive and has the best range of
the ones I've tried. It also works with a larger number of remotes. I've
used mine with the hauppauge gray remote, my ipaq, and my sony receiver
remote.

I guess I'm not being clear enough in what I'm asking.  I'm not as much
concerned about what remote everybody is using, but how you are using _any_
remote with Myth.  I'm not sure what IR hardware I need to connect to the
computer to use a remote.  I looked at lirc.org, and there seem to be quite
a few choices, as well as actually building one.  The drawings made no sense
to me however, so I think that's out of the question.

Hopefully that's more clear.  I'm really curious to see if people would post
what they are using to see if there is one specific one that is used more.

Thanks,

Michael

accustomed to using for IR control?  I've looked at lirc.org, but there is a
ton of information with links literally all over the internet for everything
and anything.  I'm looking for something specific to Myth, and even more
specific, I'm curious to find out what other users of Myth are using.  Is it
a wide array of different IR hardware, or is it all pretty much the same
thing, such as irman or something?

There really isn't a "standard" remote.  Lots of folks use the crappy
remotes that came with their capture cards.  It's like cars, everyone has
their own sense of what a good one is.  If you like that Sony remote (more
importantly if your wife does) then by all means use it.
