To add one more data point, my Mythbuntu 8.04 system does (did?) this as
well. Since school has started I have not had time to watch any TV so
have not used the Myth box. I use a MS MCE remote with its included IR
receiver. When it works (almost all the time) it works perfectly. Fast
response and I never seem to have any interference.
I did install all current updates on my Mythbuntu system this weekend. I
do not yet know if that has fixed the problem.
Thanks,
James
