The Radio Shack learning remotes are just rebadged OFA remotes. IIRC
the RS remote mentioned in the guide is the same as the OFA 8811/8810uw
(the 8810uw is available at Wal-Mart for about $18). I'm a big fan of
these remotes because they're JP1 capable. Using a JP1 cable I made
from a kit and the freeware IR and RemoteMaster software I was able to
customize my 8810uw remote to mimic my LiteOn IR keyboard that controls
my mythBox, *without* the hassle of learning (and without consuming the
very limited learning memory). Plus I have a complete backup of my
remote should I need to replace it or it loses memory, I can just
re-download it from the PC.

Hmmm... the 15-2116 in the guide is no longer listed on Radioshack's
website. Does anyone know if they still have it in stores?

Hello all,
I lost my remote control for PVR-250 and was wondering if I can use
either of the following:
Sony RM-Y168 (my TV remote)
Sony RMT-D128A (my DVD remote)
Sony RM-V8A (universal remote)
JVC LP20303-009
for my PVR-250 card...
If so, I would appreciate a step-by-step guidance. I am a Unix rookie
and can't figure out much on my own.
Thanks,
Ash.
IIRC the PVR can only detect RC5 remotes. There is a file on the home
page of lirc (http://www.lirc.org) remotes.tar.bz2 that has the codes
of all the currently known remotes.
Unpacking that file and looking in the Sony directory, I do not see any
of your Sony remotes, but grepping them for RC5 only returns one match,
so I would suspect Sony does not use RC5 protocol.
Grepping in the jvc directory for RC5 returns no matches.
I think Philips came up with RC5, there are many matches for it in the
philips directory.
You could get a pretty cheap universal remote from Radio Shack, and
program it to imitate a Philips remote, or Hauppauge have a replacement
remote on their site for $14.95
(http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/hardware.asp#remote).
