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 =)


I am also using this remote with MythTV and my wife and I like it. Thaks for the tip on the JP1. Where do you get the cable and software for this feature? My one gripe is that although you can program a single key to turn off all devices, you cannot actually assign the macro to the POWER button. This means you have to pick something else, which is just silly I think. My cable remote allows this and has a nice feature that when you select a device and immediately hit the power key it is device specific, but if you wait a few seconds, or the last keypress was not a device selection it executes the macro.
