But it'll be quite a while before that list becomes very useful.

(BTW, I really should ask folks to tell me the make and model of devices that work with Pierogi, so I can register them in the list. Let me go put that on the first post...)
I mentioned double bursting codes earlier as a way to increase range. This is done by using short bust of codes and then subsequently a long bust there after. This creates a optical pump affect that can be useful to increase range with some IR receivers.


To your above...
Well in that case in might be worth noting that that configuration set also works with the DTX9950 and 9980 as well.
I'm sure that there are also some duplicate model receivers that also work with one or other keysets.

At work we have a digital receiver box too which is made by hauppauge, If it would be helpful i could try and find a working configuration for that as well.

Also, some other thoughts...

Are you planning to build in a macro feature into your program ? One that has timed events would be extremely helpful especially at the gym.

I have some other thoughts as well, such as tying Lirc commands in with RDS streams and channel dropping/flipping ability which would tie into macros.

All in all I would love the ability to just leave my phone on the night stand and let it flip through the pre-defined channels i set giving me the ability to rule out ("drop") channels as i go along using only a single button click.
This is something i've never been able to do with qt.


Let me know your thoughts, thanks again!
