Getting Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 IR Blaster to work

I'm ready to move to the next level, to be able to change the channels on my decoder using the IR blaster that comes with the PVR-150. This link will help you a lot: LIRC PVR-150 IR blaster support

I only had to download the firmware and put it into the /lib/firmware directory on mythbuntu, and configure the IR blaster in Mythbuntu Control Center. I still have to figure out which codeset to use, but at least the irsend makes the little led on the blaster flash now.

mythbuntu + Hauppauge PVR150 = win-win

I got a Hauppauge PVR 150 card today, installed it in place of the Genie Wonder Pro, configured it and the remote in the Muthbuntu Control Center, and it works out of the box! No editing of config files, no manual tricks, nada, niks!

It is brilliant when software and hardware gets this this level, especially on Linux.

Big thumbs up to the mythbuntu and mythtv guys, you rock!
