</div>Could be later today, could be a few weeks, depends on how messy the<br>
final details are and how much free time I have to work on it. Its a<br>
bit further complicated by some major i2c changes in 2.6.31, and the<br>
fact that I've got another neat project I'm working on that's quite<br>
honestly a whole lot cooler than making yet another IR part work... :)<br>

</div>Or an mceusb transceiver + remote bundle for $20?</blockquote><div> </div><div>Yeah, it's been quite the saga for me (after my serial blaster started getting sketchy, that is). This was the first thing I tried... I bought one cheap off of ebay and sure enough it ended up being the philips ehome variety that doesn't blast under lirc (I get the "this hardware does not support transmitting" message). I just saw your post here though:<br>

</div>Are they doing that under Linux or Windows (of Mac OS X)? The i2c bus<br>
wasn't even exposed until a very recent patch that isn't even in the<br>
upstream v4l-dvb repo yet.</blockquote><div><br>They're doing it under linux. Looks like they started with a v4l-dvb repo and they have instructions posted on how to edit the code to re-enable the i2c adapter:<br><br>
