Hauppauge Remote Controls TV also.

[MikeDogg]

I have a Philips TV that the Hauppauge remote like to control also. I have a PVR350 and I'm using the videoout. When I try to change the channel in GBPVR my TV goes up a channel also, which stops me from being able to view the videoout of the 350. Anyway to disable this? Would getting a new universal remote do the same thing? I don't want to get a Firefly, I want a universal remote so I can control everything from one remote. Would this be possible? Any ideas?

lmao , the hauppauge just uses the same frequency for channel up as your tv does, no way around this. you need to get a different remote for the computer. you could then say get a mce remote and a universal (learning is better) remote to learn the tv codes and the mce codes, but you need to buy two remotes then.

Sounds like a good excuse to go get that tv you've always wanted

Which Philips do you have? Try this first... Comment out the line in irremote.ini that says:

0=HCWClassic

This is near the top of the code in the [system code] section
This code is used for the old school Hauppauge remote. Your remote is likely using "31=HCWPVR"

To comment it out, use a semi-colon i.e.

;0-HCWClassic

Please let me know how this works out as I am planning on picking up a new Philips TV this weekend and want to know if I am going to need to buy a new remote.


As explained in the links below, there is a known conflict with Philips remote codes and old hauppauge remotes running on system code 0

I was able to recreate this by programming my universal remote to that of a Philips VCR and it did in fact conflict. You can use this to your advantage though.

Here is a wonderous set of documentation for irremote.ini...

I had something of the same issue, where the remote power was taking GB to the radio screen. I decided to take advante of this instead. I commented out (;) all the commands under classic, leaving only the radio button. I then scrolled down further and set the radio= button under GB to {esc}{esc}{esc}. Doing this, I could be watching live tv, hit the tv power, and GB would also exit live tv (or recorded) and go to main menu.
