Hi. I use the Hauppauge MCE USB remote and think it's really good. Works with modern kernels or lirc. http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=425720 /Magnus H -----Original Message----- From: vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Laz Sent: den 25 januari 2011 10:53 To: VDR list Subject: Remote receiver options... I've been following various threads over the past year or so exploring various options for having a server-client vdr setup and it got me thinking. I'm currently using a home-brew LIRC receiver attached to a serial port which works perfectly. The ION-based boards look very nice as a vdr front end (using xinelibout or some yet-to-be-written plugin!) because they can do hardware HD decoding. However, I suspect a lot of these lack a serial port so my simple LIRC receiver would be no good. What are others doing in this sort of situation? USB-based receiver (there are a couple described at lirc.org), or do most of the ION boards still have a serial header (must admit, not looked into this properly yet!)? Several DVB devices do contain receivers but that pretty much defeats the object of having a server containing DVB devices and a client just for viewing. It all looks nice in principle but any lack of a remote is a deal breaker!
