I can also recommend the Streamzap USB remote/receiver; it was trivially simple to implement with lirc & myth (I use Gentoo, and it was just a matter of including a USE flag when emerging lirc). I found one at retail for $40 but got one from Amazon more recently for $29. --nelson _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
