    Hey there, keen to see how well this remote works before I purchase one but your link is broken.
    Also, do you know if the receiver is capable to waking from S3 (if enabled of course).

    I have fixed the link, sorry about that :)
    The remote works well for me, no real problems with it. I don’t know about waking from S3, and the computer its set up on isn’t in a useable state atm, sorry!

    Thanks for that, I found out that it is capable of waking so purchased it. The remote is fully supported by 2.6.29 so I am currently compiling this kernel for my 9.04 xubuntu based mythtv frontend. If I cant get that done (it boots off a 8Gb SD card and I am struggling to find the room) I will be utilising your method.
    So that you can complete your page a bit more, below is the relevant hexdump for the BACK button.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Chris

    This is a great how-to. I bought one of these from eBuyer too, great value and it feels sturdy enough.

    Since you’ve done a lot to help already, I hate to ask for more, but could you please, if possible post a couple of files from your system?

    /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
    and
    /home/mainuser/.mythtv/lircrc

    I’ve tried it as you described, but still cant get it to work. I’m not a newbie, so I guess I’ve just got one line wrong or something.

    I’m on Ubuntu 9.10 with an ASRock ION330 with a Haupague WinTV NOVA-TD. I’m pretty pleased with the system, but the ASRock ION330 is not a quiet as I’d hoped. The remote is the last piece of the puzzle for me.

    Also, I didn’t quite understand what wayne was saying, was he saying you don’t need LIRC?

    Thanks for the how-to, and thanks even more so if you can post the files.

    Cheers
    Andy

    Thanks for the guide. It really helped me to get the remote working for mythbuntu 910. The only thing i am struggling with is the hex dump, for some reason i cannot get that working even though the remote works fine in myth using your files.

    Could someone please dump the hex here for the DVD menu “special” button on the remote so i can use it? I would also be grateful if someone could dump the home button.

    Thanks
