Hi

This is my first post to this list, so here goes:

I have a winfast tv 200 delux card that I have working.  I just used the 
lircd.conf here: 
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/leadtek/lircd.conf.RM-0010

Note that one of the other ones in that directory, lircd.conf.leadtek, 
appears to be for a different version of the same remote, as it is 
almost identical up to a point, and then the remote codes get different, 
so if it works for you only partially, try the other one. 

I'm still in the process of writing a lircrc.conf for it. 

Also, I haven't been able to get it to work with any of the other 
remotes I have lying around, so I'm guessing that the reciever only 
supports a specific protocol.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, and 
if anyone knows another remote that will work with this card, let me 
know, as the bundled one is not my first choice. 

Good luck,

-Nate
