[vdr] Re: Writing Radio Frequency (RF) MouseRemote control support for VDR

["Joerg Amann" <joerg.amann@inka.de>]

Hi Simon,

I`m looking for such a program for a long time now.
I have a SetTop Box PC (www.helmutauer.de/mp) with a Remote which has a
integrated Trackball. I want to use the Trackball for zapping. Can you mail
me your little prog or post it in the mailinglist.

thanx in advance

Joerg
