Heh... all these remotes. My solution (after severely failing with the WinTV one) is to use a cordless keyboard (which has a mouse "eraser" on it). A genuine 104-Key remote (but you have to remember what key does what. Still better than the WinTV one where I was trying to remember that "Red" = Display and the like).
Added benefits: 1 - Switch to an rxvt window and fire off the DVD transcoder, and burn DVD 2 - Larger than most remotes (a plus for me-I keep losing the dang things) Drawbacks: 1 - Gotta remember the keys (though I suppose keylabels would work) 2 - Promotes lazyness (see #1. I really should put a menu entry in) 3 - Doesn't play well with other devices (except thru an IR Blaster) Got it a computer show for $25 (cheap... the mouse doesn't work any more), but when it dies, I think I'll move to a Logitech unit. -Thor Johnson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Smith Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 2:36 PM To: MythTV Users Subject: [mythtv-users] Favorite Universal Remote? Buying Tips I see that Jarod recommends the Radio Shack 15-2116: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/remotes.php Anybody else have a favorite universal remote? CNET has a roundup here (updated 7/04): http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7900_7-5114325.html The two editor's picks are quite a bit more than the Radio Shack remote. Any tips on selecting a universal remote? I'm just getting started and have just looked at the $10 ones at Circuit City (which looked like junk).
