RE: [mythtv-users] Sell Me On a Remote / IR Receiver
I have a couple of spare receivers (I use a homebrew serial receiver), 2 from a Nova-T and one from a PVR-250. I'm pretty sure they're the same, drop me a line off-list and I'll pop one in the post if you'd like to experiment. Come to think of it, I should have the remotes too (I use a TiVO remote)...

I have one spare receiver, and two Hauppage remotes as well, if needed. As an alternative, for my second front end, I have a DirecTV RC-23 remote and a serial IR receiver, and it works great! It has tons of buttons, it didn't take long at all to get it setup, and I think my total cost was under $50.

Re: [mythtv-users] Sell Me On a Remote / IR Receiver
I think you can get the original IR receiver and remote directly from Hauppauge.. That is if the card has the plug for it. The remote is available on their web-store, but you might have to call them to get a replacement receiver. This is the one I'm using.. http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/hardware1.asp#remote It has enough buttons without being too complex. It works VERY well and is pretty easy to set up.

RE: [mythtv-users] Sell Me On a Remote / IR Receiver
Hi, I've had really good luck with an IR keyboard and a learning remote. The IR keyboard is nice to stick in a drawer for when you want to do searches etc. with it. Plus, since it acts as a ps/2 keyboard (usb ones are available), there's no fussing with lirc, which I found a bit painful. I ended up with the cheapest keyboard from Fentek, and I'm using a Pronto remote that I've had for quite a while.
