<br>>it in the lircrc tree that you have to install anyway. I redefined a<br>>couple buttons to my taste, and the sample file suggests some Myth key<br>>changes which I also did. I had to redefine the Myth definition for Mute
<br>>to use '|' instead of F9 because Myth won't recognize my F9 key. Just last<br>>night I redefind the Windows button to bring up the EPG menu. I do find it<br>>a bit large and gratuitously rounded for where I like to keep it on my
<br>>desk, but that's a quibble.<br><br><br>Could you post or email links and instructions on how to set up this remote?<br>I used the MCE USB setting in knoppmyth and it sorta works, but not all buttons are active.<br>
<br><br>As for quality of the PVR 500 card with Samsung tuners, did you patch your kernel? It is almost adequate after the patch.<br><br>I do have seg faults when PIPing two SD feeds though, not the card's fault.<br><br>
To patch (From <a href="http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11871&highlight=">http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11871&highlight=</a> )<br><br><br>cd ~<br>wget <a href="http://www.madslab.com/pvr500_samsung_patch_2.6.17.diff">

<br>modprobe tuner ; modprobe ivtv<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I also have the same remote, this is a copy of my file: <a href="http://mythtv.mrjpiggott.net/lircrc">http://mythtv.mrjpiggott.net/lircrc</a> (it lives in ~/.mythtv/lircrc) most buttons should do what you would expect. Note that I only have a single tuner in my system so I don't have anything setup for PiP, tuner switch etc.
<br><br>For the original person, as I understand it the MCE remote is a specification and that there are different implementations of it. Some models are apparently 'learning' remotes for which power, volume and mute can be learned from other remotes; however you could use the IR blaster.
