All the Hauppauge stuff I've got is either i2c IR >(PVR-250, PVR-350, HVR-1950, HD-PVR) or came with a bundled mceusb >transceiver (HVR-1500Q, HVR-1800, HVR-950Q -- model 72241, iirc), >and its all working these days (modulo some quirks with the HD-PVR >that still need sorting, but they're not regressions, its actually >better now than it used to be). > >So yeah, I guess I have a gap in my IR hardware collection here, >and would be happy to have something to fill it. > >-- >Jarod Wilson >jarod@wilsonet.com > > > >-- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" >in >the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Jarod, The HVR-1850 uses a raw IR receiver in the CX23888 and older HVR-1250s use the raw IR receiver in the CX23885. They both work for Rx (I need to tweak the Cx23885 rx watermark though), but I never found time to finish Tx (lack of kernel interface when I had time). If you obtain one of these I can answer any driver questions. Regards, Andy
