What happens when all the devices go to RF only

[mvallevand]

Believe it or not after two days of searching the Internet for clues on how to use the XR15 remote I found the information I needed right here on this forum https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=52436 Sure enough I found an RNG-150 conf file that works at least with the the streaming box.

Martin,  it sounds like you have achieved what I am an trying to do but not succeeding.  Specifically I want to control a Rogers Ignite Xi6-A box (comes with XR15 remote) with the IR blaster of my HD PVR 2.  I have run Test All and the PACE ones individually in Blaster Configuration (BlastCfg) but doesn't seem to be working.  Can you share the information you learned and the RNG-150 file you mentioned.  I have spent more than two days researching this and haven't got a solid result yet.
Thanks

I couldn't find a solution with the HDPVR in brief tests since I couldn't learn OK . Maybe a better thread to continue the discussion is here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=65495.

The RNG-150 file I use is for LIRC and there is no LIRC Hauppauge transmitter for WinLIRC.

Well, my concern is the other way around. Converting RF to IR. I don't know how I would use Nextpvr with RF.

I got a mail that said there was a reply here, but when I clicked the link it's not here.
I got a new LG TV for upstairs.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think the remote may be blue tooth.  If not, it's at least RF.  I see no signs of IR.  It's called the "magic remote", a misnomer because it's basically horrible, but I can usually make it work.

BTW, I had a horrendous time getting logged back in to the forum after the "username/password is wrong" message, but I finally made it (I think).
My downstairs setup is Verizon "TV One".  I did have the ONT replaced a couple of years back, but Nexpvr is still working with TV One and my current ONT (I may have that name wrong).

I have a feeling that Verizon is headed to streaming, though.  I don't have any reason to say that.  It's just a feeling from some of the ads, etc.

I've gone two of these LG TVs here. I like them. I basically ignore mouse-pointer type functionality of this remote, and just use the use the directional buttons and enter/back etc.

Me too Sub. I hate that thing. I know that you can press a direction button, and they go away, but I think LG should give you an option to just eliminate them.

You probably got the email from a deleted spammer, they have a habit of replying to open threads. Often the same thread gets picked by the bot too.

I recently got a new TV and sound bar and remotes for both are definitely are the weak links. I am used to voice control, but now because it uses GoogleTV as a front end there are no discrete HDMI inputs. Turns out my wife finds that part easier she never got all the inputs straight. Really glad there is no air mouse. I had to pair a second remote because there are no numbers on the remote.

The Samsung soundbar is another story. The remote has lots of keys but the UI uses a tiny unreadable 1" LCD display so I end up having to use the app. We have a house guest who goes to bed early I have to hunt down my phone to turn on night mode or rear speakers only, the soundbar is too powerful. I guess using the phone as a part of the system is integral now, need it for Spotify and Tidal too.

Ny last TV was 4K but SDR only, now I get Dolby Vision, HDR10+ etc and the difference is night and day. I really like the change from 5:1 to Dolby Atmos for Netflix, Apple TV and Prime, the STB and NextPVR are a bit tame in comparison. So yeah it takes a little bit more effort to watch but once I have the source going there is no going back.
