[mythtv-users] iMon IR Receiver useable with other remotes?

[James Buckley]

Thanks for all the info, I've kinda learned the hard way with the imon
receiver (2 days of almost continuous tweaking and irrecording).
I think I'll either build my own serial IR receiver, and build it into my
case (near the original receiver), or by a M$ Windows MCE 2005 remote + IR
receiver, throw away the remote (not literally), and just use the receiver.

The reason I'm thinking of the latter is because the lircd.conf on
www.lirc.org/remotes for my remote (an Xbox 360 universal media remote), was
generated using one. However I think making my own serial IR receiver might
be the best way to go.

Thanks for your help, James
