Thanks for the reply,
I came to the same conclusion. I picked a remote I had left over from a
dead DVD player. All is working but I have that one question of where
do I put the command "lircd -H udp -d 5000" that starts lirc to play
with my HD HomeRun? I guess I could experiment but I wonder where the
preferred spot is? Documentation online looks way too complex and I
suspect it is not up to date with my mythbuntu 8.04 system.
