Watching TV

I just got a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 950Q USB TV Tuner

Works great so far with tvtime.

The lirc config file for the little credit card remote is here: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/hauppauge/DSR-0112

The IR sensor for the credit card remote is in the side of the Hauppauge device.

It also came with a Pinnacle remote control. Trying to get that going now. The Pinnacle remote has its own USB IR sensor.

Pinnacle IR Remote Control

Requires kernel modules.

The LinuxTV page tells me to check out a /proc file

I do "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" which tells me (in part) that the driver is loaded.
