[mythtv-users] Best IR usb Tx & Rx

[Michelle Dupuis]

For the sake of others looking for an IR txrx I thought I'd ask a couple of
questions on the list...I looked at your site and a few things aren't clear:
 
1.  Does the commandir offload all processing (DSP) from the CPU - in other
words is there any CPU load during IR Rx or Tx
2.  Is the IR Rx only for learning remote codes, or can it be used for
listening for IR commands to be send to Lirc?
 
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle, 

  Well I won't "spam" the list, but I'd claim we make the best -
www.commandir.com - USB Tx + Rx, and we're in Toronto.  Cheers, 

Matthew

With my myth box pretty stable, I'm now looking at adding remote control
capability.  Although I have a great Slink-e IR TxRx on my windows server
with Girder, there seems to be no way to tie this to my Myth system. 



So, does anyone have a recommendation for the best usb based IR transmitted
and receiver?  Ideally something generic (so it can handle a wide range of
remote codes and frequencies).. 



I'm handy with electronics so I've thought of building a simple one...but if
I had to buy a USB interface chip and connector I'd probably match the price
of some Chinese made IR TxRx.... 



Thanks
