[mythtv-users] IR Receiver/Transmitter Setup

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Some people have reported problems getting 2 separate serial IR devices working simultaneously under LIRC.  However, since the Hauppauge IR receiver doesn't use the lirc_serial module, you shouldn't have as much of a problem.

That being said, I think you'll probably find that you're not happy with the Hauppauge IR receiver.  The ones on the WinTV series of cards, at least, seem somewhat 'crippled' regarding what codes they'll respond to.  Maybe the PVR series is a bit better, as the WinTV series was only meant to respond to 'TV' type codes, whereas the PVR cards were designed with more advanced features in mind.  Just be warned.
