It does not use LIRC. It looks like a keyboard to the computer. There is a program that you run on Linux, Windows, or Mac to map your remote's IR codes to keyboard keys. It is extremely easy to program. The process is similar to a learning universal remote.<br>

Can it use third-party, generic programmable IR remotes such as the ones recently put forward here? Is that what this program does?<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>
