I had a look at these. They all seem to come with TV cards. Since this is a frontend only, that is overkill. The wife will not accept me spending hours building my own. I do have a spare IR receiver because I have 2 tv cards in my machine.
What I really want is a prebuilt receiver that plugs into serial/usb/whatever. Another option is to get a an IR keyboard and get a learning remote to map the Myth keys to the keyboard and leave it at that. That way, I can bring a keyboard on if I need to, but leave it in a drawer out of the way. I have a logitech cordless freedom, but I don't think it is IR. Thanks for the help so far. If you still have advice, it would be appreciated. I will publish final results when they are ready.
