from the CPU - in other words is there any CPU load during IR Rx or
Tx</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=497390122-15072007><FONT face=Arial

can it be used for listening for IR commands to be send to
Lirc?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Hi Michelle, <BR><BR> Well I won't "spam" the list, but I'd
claim we make the best - <A

in Toronto. Cheers, <BR><BR>Matthew<BR><BR>On Fri, 2007-07-13 at 13:27

pretty stable, I'm now looking at adding remote control capability.
Although I have a great Slink-e IR TxRx on my windows server with Girder,
there seems to be no way to tie this to my Myth system.</FONT></FONT>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="CITE"><FONT size=2><FONT color=#000000>So, does anyone have
a recommendation for the best usb based IR transmitted and receiver?
Ideally something generic (so it can handle a wide range of remote codes and
