Adapter cable to adapt Xbox DVD Kit receiver to standard USB

I want to use the Xbox DVD Kit IR receiver on my PC with eventghost. I have read that that an adapter cable is needed for this because the connector on the Xbox IR receiver is USB but not with a standard USB connector. I believe that the standard USB end needs to be a MALE connector and that the ...

Re: Comcast remote?

I tried pretty hard but had no success. As part of my effort, I used one of those USB snooper programs to see what information is being passed from the IR receiver to the PC via USB and found that the info is being passed when using the remote that came with the IR receiver but no information is ...

Re: Comcast remote?

Did you have any luck in getting your Comcast remote to work with the IR receiver you got on Amazon. I ask because I got the same remote/IR receiver and also want to get my Comcast remote to work with the IR receiver. I followed the link provided above and think that I correctly followed the ...

Plugin for USB PC Remote Controller (USB\Vid_073a&Pid_2230)

I have one of those IR receivers from ebay and I can't seem to get it working with eventghost. I tried following all the instructions on this thread, but I probably got it wrong as I am new to eventghost and can not readily recognize what is right and what is wrong.

Help using (Acowin AURC-001) USB IR receiver with EG

I bought one of the cheap Acowin Industries AURC-001 remotes on ebay (see below link) mostly for the USB IR receiver.
