I just built my own serial one. There are guides to this on LIRC's website. It's actually quite responsive and very easy to build.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 1:19 AM, Carl Reynolds <<a href="mailto:mythtv-users@hyperbole-software.com">mythtv-users@hyperbole-software.com</a>> wrote:<br>

I have a system I've been running MythTV on for a couple of years. I've<br>
been using a keyboard to control the system, but am interested in<br>
hooking up an IR receiver to use a remote.<br>
<br>
I wanted to find out what receivers other people are using that might be<br>
a good choice for me.<br>
<br>
I would like to connect the receiver to a USB port on the machine and I<br>
have a Universal Electronics remote I would like to try. I think what I<br>
want is a universal receiver, but I'm not sure about that.<br>
<br>
I do know that I would like the receiver to come with at least some<br>
documentation as to how to use it and how to set up the remote and/or<br>
the receiver so they will work with each other. I actually have an IR<br>
receiver that I got several years ago with no documentation and have<br>
recently tried to get it to work, but not been able to get it to receive<br>
a signal from the remote and give it to lirc, so I think documentation<br>
with the receiver is probably pretty important.<br>
<br>
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have about the IR receivers<br>
you're using and how easy you found them to setup.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Carl.<br>
