</div>Yes it is, and it can take a bit of fiddling to get that to work<br>
reliably. I had to do the same (i.e. use raw mode), and it's taken me<br>
many months of tweaking to get right.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>At least one of the lircd.conf I found that claims to work with that box had the XMP flags set, which I think is a particular formatting of the codes. I used to use raw for one of my boxes but it was not always getting the right digits (1% failure maybe) but once I found the lircd.conf that used XMP it was 100% reliable. You can irrecord your remote codes with the XMP flag using a template file but I don't remember exactly how to do it. Here's a mailing list archive post which talks about doing it with your specific box (although it describes a RNG-150, not a RNG-150N as you say you have): <a href="http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.lirc/9921">http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.lirc/9921</a> I searched for "irrecord xmp" to get that link.<br>
