** Description changed: Binary package hint: mythbuntu-control-centre - I have a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP (card 34) with a remote Y0400046. The MCC remote generator does not make this remote work correctly. After using MCC and checking the "generate dynamic button mappings", I have to fix quite a number of things. I have set out the full instructions here (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_WinFast_2000#Setting_up_the_remote ) and here (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Leadtek_WinFast#Remote ) + I have a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP (card 34) with a remote Y0400046.
