Hi,
This is likely only relevant to the UK audience.
I have checked the lirc website and googled a fair bit, but I haven't been
able to find a working lirc configuration file for the Virgin Media remote.
Does anyone have one that they would like to share?
A little background:
I have a usb MCE IR receiver with the built in IR blaster connected to my
combined BE/FE which can record from my Virgin Media STB (SD). I would also
like to be able to change the channel from a remote frontend without going to
the hassle of buying a remote extender and extra remote.
The problem is that I have not been able to capture the correct codes for the
remote with irrecord so I can't use the IR blaster to change the channels.
irrecord seems to stop responding to keypresses during the second "phase" of
the capture. I'm not at the box right now so don't have the exact details.
I have been able to use the IR blaster with other remotes for different
devices so I'm fairly sure it's not a configuration issue.
Thanks for any help,
Drew
