[mythtv-users] another question about channel changing with the radio shack 15-2116 remote

[Evan Burrows]

Since I am new to learning remotes (having only had it for about a
week) I am a little confused.  OK, so let me see if i am seeing this
in the right light.  I just took a look at Jarod's ircrd file and it
has the following:

CH+         0x0000000000000160
CH-         0x0000000000000161

Which maps the up down scrolling for the myth menus. Since those codes
are also used by my tv I would have to pick two codes that I am not
using on my remote and then remap them to the buttons I was using
previously.  Then i would update the ircrd file with those new codes
and then I shouldn't have this problem anymore.  Then I am going to
rename CH+ and CH- to OSD+ and OSD- because at some point I would like
my the actual channel buttons on my remote to change the channels on
my cable box.  This sound correct?

thanks for the help,
Evan
