[mythtv-users] Couple of things

[Joseph A. Caputo]

The IR dongle that comes with the WinTV cards is only a receiver.  It works
under LIRC, but I found it to be pretty useless because I couldn't get it to
respond to anything other than "TV" button codes, meaning you're pretty much
limited to a small number of buttons.
