I have a IR based keyboard/mouse (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Cordless-...10&sr=1-10) connected to my linux based Foxconn nettop xmbc system. I was wondering if i could use that same IR receiver with my comcast remote so that i could control the xbmc system for that same remote without having to buy another ir receiver. Thoughts?

My guess would be no...

Why don't you try?

Depending on your distro, versions, config, etc, try:

Code:

irw

or

Code:

ir-keytable -c -p RC5,RC6,NEC,JVD,SONY -t

Ah, nevermind, I looked closer and the keyboard/mouse is actually RF. Though im quite surprised how much line of sight is needed at 5 feet away with it being RF.

Uh, none at all.. Like WiFi, Bluetooth, AM and FM signals.

Are you sure it's RF?
