thank you. that was helpful because it explained alot of things. but the thing is. I don't have a receiver on my serial port. I have leadtek's DTV card (tv capture) which has input for a remote sensor that is controled by leadtek's remote controler.
I'll see if I can find a link to the product.

now, is it possible to use WinLIRC with that or do I need to have reciever on serial port? thanks!
