The AppleTV has slightly different IR Codes than 10.5/10.4 and it 
also depends on which AppleTV OS version is installed. If someone can 
point me toward the source code where IR is handled in MythFrontEnd, 
I can point out the errors. A good source of code for handling 
10.5/10.4/AppleTV is

There you can see, 10.5/10.4/AppleTV runtime detection and the IR 
cookies to use under the various OSX versions.
