Sony LF-PK1 Remote codes

[Bacon2002]

Hi,

I have one of these boxes which allows me to watch TV (UK Sky STB) on my PSP whilst I am away from home. The box has two inputs and I want to use the second input to connect it to a Hauppauge MVP or an Sage HD extender so that I can access SageTV on my PSP.

My problem is getting the remote codes for a Hauppauge MVP (or HD extender) to work with it.

The LF-PK1 emulates the remote for whatever STB, DVD etc you have connected to it via an IR mouse.

The remote codes for a Hauppauge MVP are not available as an option and the LF-PK1 does not offer the option for learning codes however it does allow you to download additional remote code and also new remote codes as they become available.

I suspect the downloaded codes could be amended but that is beyond my abilities (also from looking at the downloaded files they are not in an standard format) and therefore I have sent an e-mail to Sony although I do not hold out much hope of getting a useful reply.

The other option is to see if the MVP (or HD extender) can use remote codes from another (LF-PK1 supported) device. I have read that this is possible and I've had a look at the RemoteClients.properties file in the SageTV folder.

If I am correct in thinking the MVP can learn other controllers IR commands then I have a few questions:-

1) Assuming I can find another controllers codes can I simply enter then into the RemoteClients.properties file and if so how?
2) I still want to be able to use the standard remote control therefore do I need to leave the existing IR codes in the file, if so then do I enter duplicate entries?
3) I have several HD extenders and MVP connected, would doing this cause me problems with them?
4) Does anyone know where I could get a complete set of remote codes for a popular device, one that is likely to be supported by the LF-PK1?

Finally is there a FAQ or how to section somewhere I can look at to answer these and another questions?

Thanks,

David

I'm not sure if this helps but for information here is a copy of a LF-PK1 remote file:-

These files can be manually amended in note pad and then added to a PSP's memory card therefore I assume it is possible to make custome MVP/HD extender compatible file.

Thanks,
