Thanks for all the info, I've kinda learned the hard way with the imon receiver (2 days of almost continuous tweaking and irrecording).<br>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.
<br><br>The reason I'm thinking of the latter is because the lircd.conf on <a href="http://www.lirc.org/remotes">www.lirc.org/remotes</a> 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.

<div><span>Hi,
<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if the iMon receiver (in an Silverstone LC11M case) can be used with
other remotes. The reason is I *hate* the iMon PAD remote, the mouse
thing is just annoying and hard to use, and often transmits signals
without any touch of the remote.
<br>
<br>I've tried training other remotes using irrecord (which works),
however when using the remote the buttons I press come out wrong / random.
Looking at the lircd.conf created, the trained keys are random, and
lots of the keys come out with the same codes.
<br>
<br>Using premade remote configs from the Lirc website just don't work. In all,
I've tried an LG remote, an xbox 360 media remote (the smaller one), a sky remote, a
DViCO Fusion remote, and an xbox 1 remote. All come out with the same
problem.
<br>
<br>
So, has anyone had any success using other remotes (other than an imon remote) with the iMon IR receiver.
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance, James<br>
<br>
As a side question, lots of the remotes mention "RC6" standard or something, what is this?</span>

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/199908#199908</a><br><br>Basically, it's going to be very difficult to get any other remote working reliably with the iMon receiver. My recommendation is to get a different receiver and save yourself the headaches. I ended up going with one of these IR receivers myself:
