[vdr] vdr remote

[Torgeir Veimo]

Looks like the new remote from reelmedia is specially made for VDR,
with all labels corresponding to the correct keys. It would certainly
yield a better WAF for the VDR box. Says programmable, but does any
insiders know if can be programmed to control volume and on/off for a
TV, without any 'mode change'?

Seems to be a bit steep at €49 at their website though:

Do you know does it include a some kind of usb irda receiver or is there
some place where to buy that kind of things that would be compatible
with that remote?

For that price it better come with one! It also better be a high
quality remote and not some cheap plastic chinese production at that
price.

hi,

i never had one in hand but remember things from reelbox forum and vdrportal

it doesnt come with a ir receiver, the reelbox receiver is integrated in
the frontpanel (/dev/input/rbfp0) and has a special firmware that
includes code for ir
(available as spare part from rmm as part of the case kit, 109€)
they also have a special remote vdr plugin (source in the rmm svn)

afaik the preselected layout for the reelbox is not rc5 (at least not
entirely, i remember something about pronto codes) but the remote will
be programmable and its a universal remote with the usual preprogrammed
devices

about the new one i have no further info's except what rmm has published
but i wold expect the same preselected layout as the old one has
