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

[Tim Hamer]

do you happen to know the model #'s of the keyboards? i bought a $17 
from newegg that is all black with the pointer on the right. my X10 
UR74A remote will not learn any codes from it, and as nice as it is to 
have the keyboard when you need it, its a pain in the ass to use it for 
a remote all the time.
