How do you interface your "directv remote control" with your PC?

Which programs?

Have you taken a look at http://www.eventghost.net/docs/controll ... index.html.

EG does this (easily) and 10000x more - install it (takes 10 seconds), and then read the Wiki/Docs, unless you are a techie then you probably won't even need to read the docs - it is that simple.
setup... XBMC, W7MC for DVR & Live OTA TV, JRMC for multi-zone audio, EG, MiCasaVerde Vera3, USB-UIRT IR receiver, Harmony remote, 5.2 home theater system

Create Macro... Start/Execute program.
Drag and drop... Button presses (from left of EG window to the right)

Easy peasy.
