I have the lite-on wireless keyboard as well. The remote I have is a harmony remote from logitech which is GREAT. I was able to teach the keys, but I kept having the problem that if I hit a key on the remote, it would send it twice to the machine. I called up harmony support and they were great at reviewing the captures IR commands and being able to edit them by hand. Unfortuantnly, I can't do this myself, so if I ever try and capture more commands, I have to call up harmony support and ask them to help me out like they did before. However, it's GREAT! NO MORE LIRC! (LIRC would constantly break after a few days of uptime and required me to restart mythfrontend)
I'd always recommend the harmony remote, and honestly the best customer service ever and a truely unique product. Thanks!
