This blog post gives an overview of how I’ve configured the buttons of my Logitech Harmony 785 remote control to work with yaVDR 0.3.0a and the integrated IR receiver of my Antec Fusion Remote HTPC enclosure. Read my previous post about how to set up the yaVDR 0.3.0a system to use the enclosure’s integrated IR receiver.
