Hi Paul,

if you're not getting anything from  irrecord, then there's something basic not running. It's not a problem copying the config, but you must get some response from irrecord just to confirm that the remote's being recognised. There is another version of this that uses a USB dongle... you haven't got one of those have you??

hth,

Steve
