I'm using a universal multi-remote (CM-808), but the DVB-s card
IR-Receiver only understads one code. Then, I have to program the same
code in every multi-remote device to get the dvb card understand it. 

For example:
My dvb cards are Hauppauge Nexus-s.
I have created the directories /usr/local/vdr/etc[0-5]
In my multi-remote I can choose SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, but NEXUS-s only
understand code 301. Then I have to program code 301 in SAT1, SAT2 and
SAT3
If I run 
vdr -w 60 -L/usr/local/vdr/PLUGINS/lib -c /usr/local/vdr/etc0 -Premote
-Pdvd -D 0

then I can use SAT1 to learn VDR

If I run 
vdr -w 60 -L/usr/local/vdr/PLUGINS/lib -c /usr/local/vdr/etc1 -Premote
-Pdvd -D 1

and use SAT2 to learn this vdr instance.

....

Once all VDR instances have been learned, if I press any key in the
remote in SAT1 (for example Menu), all the vdr instances shaws the menu.

Perhaps my CM-808 is not a real multi-remote.

I don't know if I have done the right things. Can you hel me

Thanks
