[mythtv-users] Mythtv Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

2005-07-15 Thread Cody Austin
Does anyone know if the Harmony 880 remote that Logitech is offering works with 
linux?  I checked lirc.org and there isn't a config for it, but given its steep 
price I cannot afford to purchase it to test unless I am certain it works and 
could be a valuable addition to my mythtv setup.

Thanks,
Cody

The Harmony is highly configurable and works with a wide range of
hardare.  Virtually every mainstream tv, cd, dvd, stereo, cable box,
etc. can be controlled by it.  I've been using one to control my entire
home theater system for about a year now.

As far as having it work with mythtv goes, it depends entirely on what
sort of IR receiver you're going to be using.  I have a Hauppague WinTV
PVR-250 which comes with an ir receiver  remote control.  The Harmony
offers full support for this card, so it works great for me.
