Hi,
today i received my new Flirc from Amazon. Yeah!!! :D
But the big disappointment appears right after plugging the Dongle into the HTPC-Box. :mellow: I'm not able to pair my own Keys, because Flirc-GUI pairs the keys itself!!! When i press the virtual key, e.g. '1' at the GUI, the key is immediately paired (i didn't press any key on the RC (-> One for All URC 7562)!). I tried this on a Linux and a Windows Box, the issue persists. After the unwanted pairing the virtual Key flickers green, just like the RC fires '1' rapidly. Checked this with a text editor where i can see a 'running 1'...
Is it possible, that the (or only my one?) Flirc is extremly sensitive against environmental/noisy light? When i cover the Dongle with my hand, this behavior of immediate pairing is gone; when i open my hand a little bit, the key pairs without any other action :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: ....I have no illuminations, computer case lights or others, that could disturb the flirc's IR-receiver, only low light.
After hours of playing around with it, googling, trying other settings....updated to the latest Firmware, clear config, switched Noise Canceler on/off, tried every Inter-Key Delay from 0-6....I'm really disappointed at this point, Flirc is unusable for me :angry:
Can anyone help please? Is this a normal behavior??? :blink: Or is my Flirc broken or is this a Firmware bug?

Thx for your reply!
OK, maybe i'll wait some days until FW3.0 becomes stable. I'll try again then and give feedback.
