Among the remotes that can be used to control SageTV are
the SageTV remote that comes with the SageTV HD extenders, the Hauppauge remote
that comes with many Hauppauge tuners, the StreamZap remote, and nearly any
remote that can be used with a general purpose infrared receiver, such as the
USB-UIRT mentioned in Appendix F: Infrared Receivers
& Transmitters.
== SageTV Remote ==
The SageTV remote comes with the HD media extenders sold by
SageTV: the STX-HD100, the STP-HD200, and the STP-HD300. The remotes that comes
with these extenders are preconfigured to control SageTV, as shown in the
layouts shown on the following pages, and can be reconfigured using the Link Infrared/Keystroke to SageTV Command option in Detailed Setup: Commands Settings.
=== Programming the STP-HD300
Remote Control ===
The remote included with the HD Theater model STP-HD300 has
three programmable buttons for TV Power,
TV Vol+, and TV Vol-. To program these buttons for the infrared (IR) codes to
control your TV, follow these steps: 
1)      Press
and hold the Rmt Setup button on the
remote until the red LED in the front emitter window shifts to a brighter
output, about 2 or 3 seconds. Once the red LED is in its brighter state, the
remote is in learning mode. 
2)      While
in learning mode, press a button to learn the code from your TV remote: either TV Power, TV Vol+, or TV Vol-.
After pressing one of the buttons, the red LED will begin blinking. 
3)      Hold
the TV’s remote so that its IR emitter is about 1 to 2 inches from the IR
window on the HD Theater remote, then press and hold the button to be learned
until the red LED on the HD Theater remote stops blinking. While learning the
IR code, the red LED will blink faster, then stop blinking once the code is
learned. 
4)      After
learning an IR code, the HD Theater remote will still be in learning mode. You
can repeat steps 2 and 3 to learn additional codes from the TV remote. Exit
learning mode by pressing Rmt Setup
again or wait about 10 seconds. 
5)      Once
the HD Theater remote has learned the codes for your TV and has exited learning
mode, test the results by using the HD Theater remote to control your TV’s
power and volume functions. If the buttons do not work properly, repeat the IR
code learning process to try learning the IR code again. 
Notes: Only
infrared (IR) codes of approx 38KHz can be learned. The HD Theater remote does
not support learning radio (RF) signals or 56KHz IR signals.

Installation Instructions ===
In order to use the Hauppauge remote with SageTV, you must
first install the Hauppauge remote control software before installing SageTV.
Then, when SageTV is installed, be sure to check the option to configure
support for the Hauppauge remote control in step 4
of the SageTV install process. Then, during the Configuration
Wizard, use the Set your Remote Control
step to set which Hauppauge remote you are using, or go to Detailed Setup: Commands Settings and use the Remote Control Configuration option. The default
button layouts are shown on the next pages. 
=== SageTV Configuration
Options for the Hauppauge Remote ===
Using its initial setup, the Hauppauge remote simply sends
keystrokes to SageTV, so it will only work when SageTV has Windows focus – when
it is the active application receiving keyboard input. An easy way to customize
this remote, then, is to use the Link
Infrared/Keystroke to SageTV Command option in Detailed
Setup: Commands Settings. Simply reassign a command by pressing the
remote button instead of pressing a key on the keyboard when prompted to do so.
For further information about configuring the remote to be
able to wake SageTV when it is sleeping, to work when SageTV does not have
focus, or even to use the remote to control other applications, please go to
our discussion forum at forums.sagetv.com/forums.
