“No instructions came in the box however I searched on Google for Flirc and downloaded the software for Windows, The software is very easy to use and if you have any doubts do a search on YouTube and there are several tutorials. I used the Flirc to set up an old SKY plus remote to operate my Kodi media box, Works like a charm. You only need the software to set up the remote, then it works stand alone. I tried a few more old remotes as well an they all worked perfect. The remotes must be infrared and you need line of sight between the remote and the Flirc receiver plugged into the front USB on the media box.”
“Useful way to reuse old remotes.
I reused my old TopField PVR case for a Pi 3b based Kodi Media Centre/TVHeadEnd PVR and wanted to reuse the old Topfield remote. The remote was not a well known brand but this handy USB receiver was easily configured on using a tool on my Windows PC using the Flirc software you can download. The is even a Kodi option. Just needed to ensure the USB receiver had a clear line of sight out of the old PVR case, and mounting it behind the smoked plastic fascia worked a treat.”
