Hi guys, Have been on leave and so forth, finally getting a chance to get back into some bt848/fxtv/vid4linux stuff etc. I have had a basic play with incorporating the wintv remote stuff into fxtv remote system, although i am fumbling around alittle (medium sized perl scripts is usually the extent of my coding abilities). I have it sort of working :-) >> of Australian Frequencies, which also now works wonderfully.

It would be great if someone could finish the job. Anyone willing to give a hand here, I am noticing an ever larger number of V4L apps we could leverage. >I added the IR support to the driver.
