Yesterday I received my USB-UIRT from PCAlchemy. After 24 hours with it I have discovered that 90% of my remotes are of the 56kHz and my USB-IRT ISN'T. Nearly every remote I have is either RCA or Dish Network.
Realizing that it would void the warranty, I would like to know. Can I just solder in a 56kHz IR detector? I happen to have one laying around from an old LIRC that I built that was scavenged from an RCA DirecTV receiver.
Is there more to it than that? Is the firmware the same? Do you care if I do this?
Also FYI, I chose your USB-IRT over the TIRA as a replacement to my IRA2 because of the emitter jack. I'm planning to control a Dish Network receiver with my PVR. We also needed experience with sending IR for BYOPVR.com.
