Setup guide

Other Devices
If you have another device not mentioned in the list, it is still possible that it works with one of the device plugins.
First, find out how your device is connected to the computer. If it is plugged into a serial port, you have a fair
chance that it will work with either the Generic Serial IR Receiver or the Generic DCD Line Device. Currently two
different technologies are supported, the first talks to the computer using the standard RS232 protocol (like a
modem), the second uses the carrier detect line to send raw signals (pulses and spaces).
For the first, you will need to find out the proper settings for the COM port, i.e. baud rate etc. This is a trial-and-
error procedure with the Generic Serial IR Receiver device.
The second requires no special configuration, so probably you should try this one first. Select the Generic DCD
Line Device, make sure the correct COM port is selected and try to learn some buttons.
Additionally, if you have a BT8xx based TV tuner card with internal remote control receiver, you can try to use the
TV Capture Board driver. Run the setup wizard for this device, then try to learn some buttons.
