The best price/performance remote controls I have found are the "JP1"
remotes.
JP1 refers to the header that is left on the remote, which is used for
factory
programming and has been reverse engineered to allow for customization
of the
remote. They are sold under the Radio Shack name, or the "One for All"
remotes sold at other retailers. There are some Windows apps that
allow
programming of the remote using a small cable from the PC to the remote.
The learning curve is a bit steep, but for an inexpensive option it's
hard to beat. ( http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/ ).
The Philips Pronto remotes are expensive, but offer complete
flexibility. You
can create custom display graphics, script complex functions, and
learn/build
almost any IR command.
One that I am looking into now is the Philips RC9800i. It combines a
universal remote, limited multimedia support, and WiFi. It has some EPG
(electronic programming guide) support, but I don't know if that would
work
with MythTV. The possibilities with this device are certainly
interesting..

Hi all, I've been reading through the archives looking for a suitable
remote control to replace the one I'm using now. The main reason is
that the current remote has such a small memory foot print. I'm
using a
learning remote control with a wireless keyboard pickup. This works
great except that it can only learn about 8 keys before running
out of
memory. So what kind of remote controls are you guys using that
learns
enough to have full numeric and directional control. I've thought
about
going the lirc route, but I use a lot of myths functionality, games,
video, dvd, etc. Getting lirc to work seemlessly with all those
options
(seperate programs) doesn't quite work. I'd like to stay with
keyboard
inputs. To that end, I've even considered writing a keyboard driver
that can listen on the serial port for data to transmit directly
to the
lower levels of the console, hadn't looked in to it too deep, but
sounds
feasible. Ideas?
Thanks,
Calvin...

Hate to follow up my own post, but is there an actual remote control
that comes with a pickup that has a ps/2 connection?
