Pixel View Remote control

[Sawaf]

Hi
I could get a Pixel View remote control and IR Rx... but this IR Rx is connected via the serial port, also, i don't have the tv tuner itself..

Can't I use them to control computer? i.e. Is there suitable plugins for them?

I don't know which type of them i have, but i got a picture to the remote control, see it below

Thanks,
Ahmad,

All these remotes that comes with a TV tuner card have only limited support sadly.

Then, you see that I don't try to work with it?

Or there may be some method ??

The picture above got from net,

Next picture is mine, got from camera...

If the receiver plugs into a serial port and you can see serial traffic in HyperTerminal when you press a key, then I'd think it possible.

It's a Windows program. Start/Programs/Accessories/Communications/HyperTerminal If it's not there, go into Control Panel, Add Programs, and Add Windows Components. In HyperTerminal, it will want to set up your modem and know info about your phone connection. Skip through all that and get to the screen where you want to talk to your modem. Here it will ask for Com port and settings (i.e. baud rate, data bits, parity, etc.) Set those to what your IR receiver says and you should be ready to test. Any printable characters received on that com port due to you pressing a key on the remote should be recorded in the window.

The goal of this exercise is to verify the IR remote generates a serial data streem. If it does, then some of the other Girder experts can explain how to trigger off those serial events (which is beyond me).
