Sony remote problem, no signal

[Andras]

I've got a Gen2 Flirc and tried to pair with my Sony TV's (KD-49XH8096) remote but nothing happen, no signal. The debug shows nothing. The pairing process with the Yamaha amplifier's remote is successful. Any idea? Thanks.

I own a sony bravia too, our remote uses bluetooth, that is why it does not work with flirc, but you can use IR too.

Solution 1, configure your htpc hdmi input as cable tv from tv settings menu, this one the remote works like a IR/bluetooth ibrid. I use this one but the IR signla is very slow/laggy compared to bluetooth.

Solution 2, unpair the remote from tv or disable tv bluetooth. This way the remote switches to IR, look at this video:
