![]() It’s not a light task, however, and certainly not a task for beginners. Further, it requires you’ve already purchased an IR dongle of some sort (which can run you anywhere from $10-20).įLIRC, on the other hand, circumvents the entire problem in a rather novel way.

Then when you have the FLIRC dongle plugged into your media center and you press the remote button the media center is tricked into thinking the FLIRC USB dongle is actually a keyboard and that you’ve just pressed the “Home” key.
