    Greetings!

    I've got two different USB IR receivers. I am using them to try to get my DirecTV remote to work in Windows (XBMC, to be specific). I am having a hard time getting them to work, though.

    When I use the remotes that came with the receivers, a red light blinks. It will not blink with my DirecTV RC64R, despite trying a bunch of different codes. I have tried:

    00001
    00002
    01392
    21972

    Does anyone have any ideas? I've done some searching for codes to try with no luck. Most of the results that I've found have been on the XBMC forums but there isn't a tremendous amount of information there, unfortunately.

    I don't see any information on the receivers that has gotten me anywhere. I'd really like to get the DirecTV remote to work with XBMC so I can cut down on the number of remotes that I have.

    I appreciate any help that you've got to offer. :)
