I have an Acer wireless keyboard that I purchased about 5 years ago, but looks similar to the Lite-On ones I've seen. But I have successfully programmed a RS 15-2116 8in1 remote to mimic the keyboard. Works great. To teach the remote a keypress, I usually have to try about 3 to 4 times for each key. I usually hold the remote one inch away from the keyboard. I usually hold the remote at a 30degree angle to the keyboard (The keyboard cover appears to be at a 30 degree angle so rotating it makes the surfaces parallel.) I just set the keyboard on the edge of the table and keep moving the remote around until it works. I usually hold the key down for about 1 to 1.5 seconds. HOWEVER, I was only able to teach my remote about 8 keys before the memory was full. Not quite enough to be functional. So, I had to get a JP1 cable and reprogram it. The was very easy with the software found over at http://hifi-remote.com/ofa/ . There was already a config file for the keyboard, I just had to map the keys in the excel spreadsheet. If you don't want to go the LIRC route, I suggest you spend some time on researching JP1 programming. -rac _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
