using a usb-uirt on a uk spec pace stb
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2004 11:57 pmHi there
im afraid im a bit of a newb,
im considering using the usb-uirt to control my pvr/home cinema setup to change channels etc, but there seems to be some confusion about wethere the device can operate a uk spec pace (bskyb 2500s5) digital satelite stb. i am using btv3 as as the main stay of my pvr system (apparantly has support for the usb-uirt built in).
Q ive seen in some postings there may be a problem due to the use of irda signals in use on some uk stb's is this a factor with my stb?
Q. will usb-uirt control my stb out of the box or is it going to take a degree and ten years of research to make it work?
if you have any advice about the best way to tackle this project please let me know.
