USB-UIRT & win-tv 150 remote

[capone]

I tried my experiment of using an external usb for sound and disabling the nForce audio....no go...the 150 remote still kicks out after 15-30min.

Can I simply us the USB-UIRT and teach it the 150? I'm assuming the problem the 150 has w/ losing the remote would be gone, and I would get the 150 remote back?

Also, to anyone w/ USB-UIRT experinece, are you happy w/ it? Could I get to to blast the TV and handle at least power?

Btw, I should mention that I need to do this w/o using the IR on the win-tv altogether. I was looking at Girder to act as the bridge that the irremote would have been.

But, in reading the Girder fourms, I saw some mention that the Girder would not work in the background. It would see that would contridict the purpose of the software, but it gave me pause.

I guess I should also ask: Does the UIRT support in 0.9 solve this problem altogteher?
