I want to get in to test mode and be able to view the commands sent via the remote... how do I do this?
The guides just say, "Load up in test mode"
What guide? There's no such thing as test mode.
most probably you're talking about putting the <displayremotecodes> option in advancedsettings.xml ?
the wiki indeed mentioned this as loading up xbmc in test mode, so i
changed it to avoid any future confusion.
note, this will only work on the xbox (if the option is still valid at all).
What should I do using the Live version?

would be hard to tell without knowing what your problem is. ;-)
you can't display remote codes in xbmc, that's for sure.
in case you're trying to set up a remote that's not working out-of-the-box, you might want to check out these tools:
- mode2 (to display raw remote codes)
- irrecord (to create a custom lircd.conf file)
- irw (to test your lircd config file)
For some reason when I program my Harmony remote to act like my VRC-1100... it doesn't interact with the receiver....

Does the Harmony work with XBMC by sending keypresses? If so you could try my ShowKey app to see what is being sent. See
