Honestly not something that would interest me, mostly because if I'm
going to watch using mythweb, I don't want to carry around -another-
box to where I'm going (when I travel, there's either already a
computer there, I bring one of my laptops, or both).  However, it
would be relatively straightforward to grab a learning remote and an
IR keyboard and make the remote work like a keyboard...ATI
All-In-Wonder remotes (if memory serves) do something similar.

Good luck!
