How do I get eHome Tranceiver drivers for Windows 11

I have tried scouring the net and got .sys files without valid signatures and ehome cab files which won't install.

There must be somewhere where I can download the original Microsoft eHome Tranceiver software ???

Hi.

Assuming you've plugged the device in, how does it appear in device manager?

Is your receiver using the RC6 protocol? It should carry the logo if it is. The drivers for Microsoft (Philips) RC-6 IR have been built into Windows for many years.

There are other standards which were used in Media Center remotes/receivers by some third parties; a common one was SMK Quatro Pulse IR. These may not be plug-and-play.
