[mythtv-users] Recommended Remote Controls?

[Kevin Kuphal]

I'm using a StreamZap.  Includes the USB IR receiver.  Works fine under
linux with the project at sourceforge for drivers.

$40 but you might find it cheaper elsewhere.  Has all the buttons I need and
great Windows support too if you need that as well.
