Thanks; that's useful to know. So does anyone
know what signaling<br>
protocol the RM-VLZ620 uses? I'm having issues
figuring that out.<br>
The obvious searches (e.g., model number &
"protocol") all talk about<br>
programming the buttons, not what IR signals it
sends.<br>
<br>
[Granted, I might still get one and also get a
different receiver,<br>
but it lessens my "just give it a whirl"
impetus. And if anyone<br>
has suggestions for cheap,
actually-on-the-market and/or trivial<br>
to get via ebay receivers, that might also be
handy.]<br>

<div>The flirc (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://flirc.tv" target="_blank">http://flirc.tv</a>)
is always a good option for receiver. I have a
couple of these and they work well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've just ordered the Sony remote listed here,
so not tried the 2 together.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The flirc works really well with the Hauppauge
remote though, as that's what I currently use. </div>

<div>+1 for Flirc. I wrestled with remotes, drivers,
configurations many times in the past when I re-built a
new frontend. Each time it had plenty of oddities and
challenges.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Flirc avoids all that stuff.. No Linux config needed,
and it will adapt to your remote. It’s so much easier
and it works with MythTV, Kodi, and others without more
complexities.. </div>
<div>In my case I use a Harmony remote which has a Flirc
remote setting, so I didn’t need to imprint my Flirc
receiver at all.</div>

Okay, I so don't understand what you mean by no Linux config. A
couple of months ago I went through a completely failed attempt to
get *two* different IR receivers working under Fedora and LIRC. One
of them was even working previously under CentOS. Really
frustrating. Alex L. the LIRC developer was even helping.<br>
<br>
Are there instructions somewhere on getting it working with Myth. No
config? I assume keyboard emulation then. IRW output? <br>
<br>
$23 on Amazon.<br>
<br>
I assume I'll need a USB extender to move it around front of
whatever device I have so it can receive IR signals. Receives RC-6?<br>
