:-(

I just bought the Mediagate MG-IR01BK and found out it uses the same receiver (eHome - USBCIR). The receiver's red LED indicator stays on.

I tested it on my Windows 7 system and it works properly (LED only blinks when receiving a command).

Guess I have to return it and buy another MCR remote. :-(

With Live version of Eden it is working out of the box.
SOLVED

So, I think, thread can be closed.
