ok, one could do either/or.. with IR, having BT and WiFi, it satisfies
everyone's input requirements.

personally i'd like to see wifi, as i dont have a phone (or other
device) that i could use to to the controlling.

Yes, but then you're kind of limited to just using PDAs then. I
already control my Mac from my bluetooth-enabled phone (a T616) via
Salling Clicker (http://www.salling.com). It lets me control movie
playback or music via iTunes from the couch. It also displays the
current position and title of the movie or song being played. Seeing
as I almost always have my phone with me, its very convenient. It
would be pretty cool to have that available for my MythTV setup too.

 
 You could do the same with wifi, and get better range.. :-)
