I thought that I had read it some where but I can not find it for the life of me. What is the generic remote type of the 990 remote?

Thanks

Are you talking about a code that can be used on other universal remotes to control the 990? I don't know of such a code for any of the common remote databases.

Do you mean UEI Catalyst 48?

The reson I was wondering was I didn't see anything that seemed to be obvious Outlaw at lirc.org. I am inhearting a Nokia N770 and was trying to figure out if I could use it as a universal remote. I would pare this with some of the plugins from Slim Devices the slim server and maybe a squeeze box. I just thought that I would check into it. Otherwise it would be learing most of the functions. That doesn't seem worth it compared to getting an Harmony 880 or similar. Thanks for the help.

I don't have any experience with LIRC, but it appears to support learning:
Based on that quote from the LIRC site, it appears that the absence of any Outlaw files is because nobody's ever written (or at least never shared) a setup. You would just need to learn the commands from your 990's remote. The 990's commands should be easily accepted (I've learned them to both an MX-500 and an MX-700 , and others have learned them to Harmony and Pronto remotes).

I don't know how the learning process works under LIRC, but it's pretty simple with the MX series remotes I've used. I actually prefer learning commands myself over downloading someone else's config file because I can organize functions the way that I want them.
