Not sure: is the R/C programmable?
Does it have all buttons you would need for commanding the box?

I've never heard of that plugin; what's it supposed to do?

Did you upgrade the frontpanel? The upgrade enhances the sensitivity of the IR-receiver.

But I really would advise you to use a real R/C; see my signature for some ideas.

All up to date :)
We have a tiny glass table in between sofa and receiver almost IR receiver level that probably cause a trouble, Dm8000 was ok with that setup but duo2 doesnt like it :)
maybe the distance causing trouble (around 4mtr)...
Hdmi-CEC plugin probably not compatible with Panasonic Tv ,I read something like that on BH forums ... I use TV remote for my XBMC (rP) without any problem...
Thanx anyway

My Harmony's operate the DUO2 fine (also behind a smoke coloured screen); their IR-transmitter is far more powerful.

I sent my Harmony to the buyer of Dm8000 hence the original was destroyed over the time :) Now its time to buy a new harmony ;)
