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

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Newegg doesn't even sell these anymore. At least I couldn't find a $17
wireless k/b.

What other low price (under $25) wireless k/b are there which work well with
learning remotes?

And Vito has a good point, typically how many keys will the remote allow you
to "teach" it?
