I'm also using the Radio Shack 15-2116. It has enough logically laid out buttons and funtionality to do everything I wanted. One nice thing about this remote is that it has JP1 capability. JP1 is an interface on the remote that allows for remote programming and backup via a parallel port, Windows app and special cable. You can get similar functionality in the really fancy remotes, but IMHO, its not worth the price premium. Plus, the 15-2116 doesn't scare away the wife =) Paul _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
