I just ordered this keyboard per your recommendation.   Be aware that 
they charge $12 for shipping -- kind of high imo.  In any event, I am 
planning on just pointing the thing at my MX-500 learning remote that I 
use to control my system.  I like the idea of having a keyboard to do 
web surfing as well as bypassing LIRC.

Any reason why that would not work?
