Terratec IR-Receiver with Harmony in HTPC

[CrazyHorseB]

I posted this in the computer section without success, but might get more success in here.....

I've just built my HTPC and all seems fine, but I was hoping to use the IR receiver which came with the Terratec Cynergy 2400i with the my (also new) Harmony 555 remote.

It doesn't seem to work..... is this even possible or am I just doing something wrong with the setup?

Does it work with the original remote?

Does it have to be enabled?

Give us a bit more info.
Cheers

The ir-receiver works fine with the Terratec remote. I suppose the question i'm asking is; is the terratec receiver linked only to that type of remote or is it a generic reciever that can take and interpret signal from any remote?

If it's like my Hauppauge then the IR recreiver is only linked to the Tuner Card. So your Harmony should be able to control the Tuner but not the PC, Media Centre etc.
