Hey Eskro,
never mind answering my previous questions. Got it all from your inputs in Flirc's forum. Just ordered mine
Cheers.

partimers Wrote:eskro,
I am trawling the FLIRC forums for learning more about it.
Here some question that you can help me with:
1. Do you use it with Harmony? If yes, which device did you choose to program Harmony?
2. Do you face any lag/delay/repeat issues? Is it snappy?
3. Does FLIRC awake the HTPC via the USB port (this is key for me). I run XBMCBuntu-like setup, with the proper configs for wake on USB. However, I have found some remote/mouse/keyboard receivers that no matter what, will never wake the HTPC. Do you have it awaking your PC?
Thanks for your info!
Regards

Quote:OVU400103/00 (HP Part #: 5188-1667)
This is the most highly recommended model, but the trick is finding someone that is actually selling it. If you can find this model I’d recommend getting it as it’s been known to work well on both the Windows and Linux side.
OVU400102/71 (HP Part #: 5187-4593)
This is the model I purchased and had no troubles getting it to work on Windows 7. This seems to be one of the more common models and should be relatively easy to find on eBay.
OVU422000/06 (HP Part #: 5070-2584)
I don’t know much about this one, but I suspect it would also work well on the Windows side.

The OVU422000/06 is a more expensive ($23,73 compare to $14) is it worth the heiger price or is the OVU400102/71 as good?

Anyone else got experiences with the OVU400102?
The OVU400103/00 seems impossible to find in stock.

the good:
plug and play worked great
Mce keyboard works awesome with the harmony and xbmc
the bad:
#1 problem for me is my htpc is all behind me in my theater. the HP dongle does not receive signal bouncing off the wall. I have to point the remote behind me. this is awkward.
the power toggle sends the PC to s3 rather than s5. this may be a setting on my end.
there is a bit of delay for the button response. also may be a harmony setting.
wake from s5 isn't working but these asrock mobos are tricky
my verdict on the dongle is its okay for the 15.50 I payed.
