No remote (it's the MCE version), but $63 and no rebates and free
shipping.
Ooh. But buy it on a new buy.com VISA and get $30 off...that's nice.<s>
IMHO, being forced to use an IR-based RC5 remote is too much
of a hassle, anyway. I have two PVR-x50 remotes I'm not using (one from
my PVR-350 and one from the PVR-250). So, really, the tuner is not the
only part of the card I paid for but am not using.
What do you use for for remote control? I'm going to need an IR Blaster
anyway (this guy sells 'em for $12+$3 S&H http://www.irblaster.info/),
which says to me that if I do it right, I can replace my cable box with
some sort of MythTV remote. All the better if whatever it is controls the
TV--though, come to think of it, I guess I won't need to control the TV
much beyond the volume if I'm watching everything (DVD, Cable, etc.)
through the MythTV Box.

If you really want the remote, $85, no rebates, and free shipping. But,
you can build the serial IR receiver ( http://lirc.org/receivers.html )
for a lot less than $22.
I have too many remotes as it is. I hadn't considered it until you
mentioned this, but if my MythTV box allows me to replace the three
remotes I need currently that makes it worth the cost of entry itself.<s>
