You shouldn't have to get a new IR receiver for a different remote. As long as LIRC is compiled and setup to use the hauppage driver you can use that IR Receiver with any remote. You should just have to replace you current
lircd.conf file with the lircd.conf file for your new remote control. I think the typical location for the lircd.conf file is /etc/<br><br>Go to <a href="http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/">http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/
</a> and surf to the folder for the 3rd party remote you want to use. Download the lircd.conf file for that remote, replace the old lircd.conf file with it, and check the file's permissions to make sure it is readable and executable for your user.
<br><br>If there's not a lircd.conf file available for the remote you want to use, you can always make your own using irrecord. Use a command similar to the following:<br><br>irrecord --device=/dev/lirc0 /etc/lircd.conf
<br><br>After you get a proper lircd.conf file, you'll probably have to change the button names in your ~/.lircrc file to correspond with the button names from the new remote. (The button names can be found in the previously mentioned
lircd.conf file)<br><br>Hope this helps!<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Cole Brodine<br>
