Nebula DigiTV Remote

• Type: Infra-red
• Protocol: RC5
• Available separately? yes (�11.29)
• Buttons: 55
• lircd.conf? lirc.sf.net

This is the first (and only?) nebula branded remote control, previously a one-4-all universal remote was provided. Black in colour, with 55 buttons, it includes dedicated cursor buttons, channel up/down buttons, volume up/down buttons, coloured "fastext" buttons and transport controls.

I went a bit mad with adding NOTE:s to the top of the file, but you should probably read at least the first one.

~/.mythtv/lircrc for Nebula DigiTV

# There are so many buttons on this remote, 55 to be exact. I don't really 
#  know what to do with all of them, yet I'm discovering that Myth has 
#  functions for all of them and much, much more! All in all, 407 lines of 
#  yummy remote-controlled icing on the delicious cake that is MythTV.

# Intended for use with:
# http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/nebula_electronics/DigiTV
# NOTE: On my system I renamed the remote to "nebdtv". To use this file 
#  with the download from lirc.sf.net (which is otherwise identical to my 
#  copy) simply replace all instances of "nebdtv" with "Nebula_DVB".

# NOTE 2: Not all buttons are used yet, and some key binding customisations 
#  will probably be made to get the most out of the extra buttons. In 
#  particular "Picture" and "Audio" are currently unused so I could 
#  possibly set jumppoints to [[Myth Photo]] and [[Myth Music]] in future.

# NOTE 3: The buttons on the remote are listed from the top left down, row 
#  by row, left to right, with any unused buttons given comments where it 
#  would appear if it was used here. The number buttons are listed in their 
#  entirety before starting back at the "Picture" button.

# NOTE 4: I just thought of another thing that could cause confusion, the 
#  volume buttons are commented out because I use KDELIRC for that. They 
#  are defined however, so just uncomment them if you want to use them.

# Based on, and thanks to:

Alternative lirc.conf for Nebula DigiTV IR Receiver

The provided lirc.conf on SourceForge is recieved with a none Nebula Electronics IR reciever, I could not get that version to work when I used the IR reciever that came with the card. I built this with irrecord, oddly Play and Playspeed have the same code. I'm not 100% this is correct.

# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.0(userspace) on Wed Dec 20 19:35:11 2006
#
# contributed by Peter Wood
#
# brand: Nebula Electronics
# model no. of remote control: DigiTV-PCI Remote
# devices being controlled by this remote: DVB-Card
#
# Note unlike the existing lircd.conf, this one was captured with
# the DigiTV IR receiver via the DVB card it's self. This was the
# remote which came with a Revision B PCI card (Brought Dec 2006).
