If you were able to get MythTV up and running, why not take a stab at programing your remote via JP1? I was able to create a "remote upgrade" code to control MythTV using my $25 One For All URC-8811 via the hauppauge built in IR receiver.
It works great and does absolutely everything I could want it to (minus the dishes unfortunately...) Check out: http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/help/index.shtml I just built my own JP1 cable from a spare IDE cable and some RatShack parts using these instructions: http://www.hifi-remote.com/files/interfaces/6PinConnector.pdf http://www.hifi-remote.com/files/interfaces/SimpleRev5.pdf If anyone is interested in the Upgrade Code, I can post it...
