OLED B6 65 TV, Oppo UHD-203 DVD. Klipsch Reference 7.1 Speakers. [2] HDHomerun HDHR4-2 OTA tuners. Win 10 Pro 64 bit I have been using URC programmable remotes for years. I bought my first one when their dealers would provide programming software with the purchase. I currently am using a MX 990 and it works very well for my needs. It controls all of our AV equipment and switches from one to the other with just one button push. I do not know what I will do when the current remote wears out since URC will not support remotes not bought and programmed by an authorized dealer.Very nice remote. You may be able to get a friendly dealer help you, or start going through the process to become a dealer yourself if you have a need to program it. It's probably not *that* dense once you have software and a tiny bit of documentation. I'm sort of going through this as I poke around Crestron gear. In some ways this idea that 'only dealers can program it' is genius. A) no inane tech support questions from consumers. B) It *tanks* the value of older gens of gear, if you're smart enough to figure it out on your own, you're looking at getting crazy toys for peanuts. Logged Do you mean like for IR?Yes Logged Flirc, but also interesting is whatever they put in the NanoPi R6S.I have a Flirc but it's seems close to unsupported at this point and isn't plug and play on linux.I'd rather find something in that form factor that works with the default Lirc drivers on linux.There are like 30 different devices listed for it.

2025-04-10A simple usb receiver (to use with linux) what are some suggestions?Deanna has some of the USB transceivers that work with the HP Media Center Remotes. Logged I suspect a lot of us still use the most amazing remote control product; the Logitech Harmony.... Logged If one had to purchase a simple usb receiver (to use with linux) what are some suggestions?Flirc, but also interesting is whatever they put in the NanoPi R6S. Logged I use mouse and keyboard most of the time. Very large libraries are much easier to browse with a keyboard. I do not like the keyboards with touch pads on the side, I like nice Logitech MX separate mouse and keyboard. They work on any surface, have backlight, and are lag free.I like JRemote and MO 4Media for music but I am not using a network at the moment, so this is not an option..I have a Flirc 1s remote coming soon and will give that a go. Logged I suspect a lot of us still use the most amazing remote control product; the Logitech Harmony....I bought a second Harmony One when they stopped making it. It's still a fine remote, although Logitech has abandoned the business and only a matter of time before their very poor app/web service for programming it goes dark!Not as impressed with their Elite remote - the app for managing that is clearly written by people who hate people and the remote itself is "slow" in my opinion.
