[mythtv-users] Can a universal remote be used with the Hauppauge IR reciever?

[Stephen Tait]

Well yesterday I splashed out on a Philips Universal remote (specifically, 
the SBC RU 865 - I'd post a link, but the site uses SID's, you can find it 
in the remote section here http://www.consumer.philips.com/global/b2c/ce/) 
and used irrecord to generate me a nice lircd.conf. It's not all working 
yet, but it definitely works to some degree.

As far as working with the hauppauge receiver goes, I think that any remote 
using the RC5 (?) protocol will work.
