Can PVR150 be used for client remote IR?

[soccerdad]

Sorry but I just can't get my head around this one. I just built a great new PC client. Now I want to use my Harmony remote to control it. I have an extra PVR 150 card with IR sensor. Is there any way to use this to control a PC client?

Where I am lost is in set up. Do I have to add a capture source and then select client mode?

I have Vista 64 so that may be another issue. I have not yet been able to install the Hauppauge software. I am not sure what I need to install to get the IR to work.

Otherwise, is usb IR my best choice?

Thanks

I have not used this card (I had the 350) but I think if you download the latest driver bundle and install just the driver and ir software, it should work fine.

You won;t need to setup a capture source in gbpvr but you will need to click on fix 45button remote option to update irremote.ini to include the section [GB=PVR]


I don;t think it matters whether the install is in client mode or not. the ir software is just sending key presses so pvrx2.exe just thinks that you are using the keyboard.

I just tried it and it seems that Vista 64 with 4 gigs of ram is no-go for the 150 card. I can load the IR software, but can't start it. It appears that Hauppauge will not update the driver and is offering some kind of exchange (along with $$$) for upgrading to the digital cards (per the UK Hauppauge forum)

So now I need to find an IR receiver that will work. perhaps the uirt.
