Hello!
I love to use PrgDVB but it is still difficult to go to the PC to change the chanel.
I have got an Hauppauge Remote Control and now i want to use this with PrgDVB.

I loaded the WTVIRBridge and it still works. But how i can map the Controls to the Remote Control? I dont know how this works??????

Plase help me!

What hauppauge remote and ~ DVB card?
There's more than one concept...

The SS1 / Nexus Remote works without any additives, directly over the hardware connected original IR receiver. And ProgDVB handles it (and only it) as a remote control. Just depending on the remote handset version, it may be necessary, to teach in all the controls once, including the numbers.

Other original remote sets, that aren't merntioned in the device file comments (device list, mark your device in use), won't work as such, would require WinLIRC or similar, plus an external IR receiver, typically connected to a COM port.
Remotes for devices with BDA drivers won't work AFAIK.

Few remotes in fact emulate a keyboard, in such cases they are to be found in Windows hardware menager as HID. Such had to be teached into ProgDVB as key stroke controls.


An answer could have been shorter and more on the point, if necessary details were posted...
