#ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">As part of
getting my ECS Liva working, I plugged in
an old Microsoft branded IR receiver and
it worked great with Fedora 21's mceusb
driver. When I moved the Liva to the TV
location I swapped in the
off-brand/generic IR receiver that had
been working for years with CentOS 6 and
the mceusb driver therein.<br>
<br>
Guess what? Nothing.<br>
<br>
So I swapped the old Microsoft receiver to
get things working. But why didn't the
other receiver work? I had also purchased
an inexpensive HP receiver and in a fit of
pique threw it in the trash when it didn't
work with the Liva. I think I was rash.<br>
<br>
Can anyone provide any guidance on getting
an off-brand receiver working with newer
kernels? I assume support for older
hardware has been removed. I recall the HP
receiver did load mceusb and identify it
as the usual "eHome receiver" I've always
seen. Just no output from irw.<br>
<br>
Can anyone point to USB IR receivers
available that work with current kernels?
Obviously the old Microsoft receivers are
long out of stock.<br>

Latest versions of openelec, which are running very recent
kernels. <br>

Okay. Not wild about ordering from China. What did they charge for
shipping?<br>
