Thanks Cue!
That converterprogram will be well used.
I wouldnt thrust IR either if there was something i wanted to rely upon, but for normal supervised usage it is just fine.
And if qtirecco will mute the stereo with 90% errormargin, then it is a big bonus rather than a 10% failure
But at home, where that function would be useful, i use the n900 (+qtirecco) standing on the table just a meter from the IR-reciever so it is quite reliable.
Unfourtunately, my fingers arent as reliable to hit the right button since i have crammed way too many buttons into that tiny screenspace
To somehow extend the screenspace would be the biggest and most useful improvement of irreco i can think of...
Especially now with that converterprogram now i can finally control the TVs in all the pizzerias, pubs, and restaurants i visit

hello all, this being my first post and a new user, please pardon the noobness.
I just wanted to know 2 things:
1)is there any alternate app to the qtirreco
2)is is possible for the qtirreco or any other to have a ir programming function.
thanks

Ive never had a tv that a ready made remote existed for, so Ive never beeb able to use Irreco. Until now. Got a big Panasonic plasma, and apart from the limited range it works great.
Like the way the power to the FM transmitter has been increased, is there any way to increase the range of the IR transmitter?

Hi all, Just a quick question. Is it possible to submit remotes to QtIrreco's database?

I think the "upload to DB" is for qtirreco, button layouts, etc. The actual remote database is hosted here
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/
you can also contact
lirc@bartelmus.de
with your added remote. More info about adding to the LIRC database is here too

However, i think the N900 is stronger than both my HK and sony remotes but also much more directional than those, so be sure that you are pointing the IR-beam into the reciever and not somewhere else.

I tried it but the usual happened.
My topfield 650pvr (eu) aint covered. Sure looks nice though. Glad it works for some at least. I had a great remote on my palm III back in 1998(!). Powered everything from 4 meters and had create & resize button option just by drawing and learned like universals by pointing them at each other. Too bad Qtirreco can be used by some and not all. Maybe when meego starts up thereŽll be the same app.
.. or do I owe someone an apology for not x-term(ing) or reflecting digicameras and such? If only there was more time...

Hey guys just downloaded this and trying to get my Foxtel to work with it, but it seems it doesnt work, is their a command or somthing that enables the ir receiver? or is turned on automatically?
I often avoid IR when it comes to automation since it's not very reliable I only wish that TV manufacturers ditch IR for Bluetooth or something similar but less power hungry. The only reliable IR signal that works from a good distance is the power button on the tv.
I currently use my ps3 (with play tv) with my n900 since I can use my n900 to turn on my ps3 wih bluemaemo to control it flawlessly. anyway, to answer your question about the tutorial, you need to use a pronto hex converter to use those codes. here is the program that will convert them for you for use with qtirreco
