happauge Silver remote ,,,curious

[bikr]

Hello , I have the hauppauge pvr250 with the silver remote , and everything works fine , the power button shuts down beyond tv , but nothing launches beyond tv , i also need a button that'll shut off my monitor and turn it back on , i'd love it if i could hit the power button for turning monitor off and on , and maybe another button to launch and close beyond tv... I know how to use girder but it doesn't seem to recognize any buttons from the remote , since maybe the input goes through the card and not the serial port etc..

i also dont' want to change any of the buttons that are currently working , since it's so flawless , if you know how to do this please let me know asap --Josh

For starting BTV put this in the in the Irremote.ini file under windows and restart the ir program or restart the computer.

GRNPOWER={run(C:\Progra~1\SnapSt~1\BEyond~1\WTLPVS App.exe /mode fs)}

If you have girder installed, just use the monitor off option under the OS tab and use a girder event and assign to a button for your remote and give it a command like:

Button={run(C:\Program Files\girder32\Girder.exe pwroff -silent

the only problem with that is that girder doesn't recognize remote button presses as events =(

It will not respond directly, you pass the event by the event.exe and a command line pushed from the ir32.exe in response to the remote.
