Use eyetv ir sensor to capture signals from other remotes.

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Hello,

I have an eyetv diversity.
Can remote buddy intercept the remote signals from normal remotes via the diversity's ir sensor?

As my topfield died, but has a much nicer remote control than the eyetv one, and has lots more functions (with labels). If the eyetv could pick up its ir signals and these be mapped to various functions of the mac mini via Remote Buddy, then it would save me having to fork out loads on a bluetooth remote.

Cheers

Hardware - EyeTV Receiver

Which receivers are supported? (FAQ015E0211)
The latest info on hard- and software-requirements including info on support hardware can be found on the dedicated page for EyeTV receivers.

Please consider making use of the free Remote Buddy trial version to test your device for compatibility directly on your computer.

Hardware - Wii™ Remote

How can I activate the Bluetooth® receiver automatically on startup? (FAQ015E0163)
In order to automatically activate the Bluetooth® Receiver on startup, enter the settings, choose "Hardware", then click on "Bluetooth® Receiver". Finally activate the checkbox "Search for supported remotes on startup". Remote Buddy will then automatically look for remote control paired through the "Setup Wizard" on next startup.

Thanks for asking.

Remote Buddy only gets fully recognized IR signals from EyeTV. It has
no access to the raw IR stream that would be needed for recording. So
I'm afraid what you'd like to do is not possible.

Best regards,
