[mythtv-users] Lite-On IR Keyboard and Learning Remotes

[Matt]

Yeah,  I figured you were talking about this one:

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/detailsharmony/US/EN,CRID=2084,CONTENTID=9933
Seems really freakin cool, but not worth the $.

This is the one I have:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/detailsharmony/US/EN,CRID=2084,CONTENTID=9511
It's MSRP is $199, but I got it for less than $100 after rebate, $119
w/o rebate on newegg.

Also, I think you are correct Brad.  But unfortunatly, I couldn't edit
the IR code myself on the harmony remote... wish I could :)
