[mythtv-users] PVR-250 remote with home built reciever

[Timon, John]

the Hauppauge remote uses the rc5 protocol.  so to use this, you would need
to build a receiver that recognizes it.  Frankly I do not know if a homebrew
serial receiver will work with this remote, I have never tried.  perhaps it
is just a setting in the lirc Makefile to have rc5 support in the binary for
the serial device.  

good luck

I am going to be building a IR reciever from
http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html.
I have a backend system setup now and a second frontend computer to watch my
shows on (long story but the pvr-250 crashes if i watch a recording while
the card is recording).  
Can I use my silver PVR-250 remote with this reciever or do I need to
purchase one?
I have googled and searched lirc and here but no luck.
Thanks
