Thanks Joseph, I'll look into that, time to learn a bit of scripting under
Linux.  Might drop the OP of that thread a note to see if he might share
his script.

I'll be back on this one I'm sure

I haven't tried that one, but I always use the HP-branded ir receivers
from eBay. They're quite a bit larger, but they are fully LIRC and MCE
compatible. They use the default mceusb driver in a recent Linux
kernel (I think it's 2.6.35+), so no additional drivers are needed. In
Mythbuntu you just plug it in, select the MCE receiver option and
you're done.

I have bought one and received it. The solutions available to use this with
myth seem to be
1 reconfigure the key mappings to match the remote as the remote appears as
a USB keyboard (however the remote uses media keys such as volume+/- and I
am unsure if the key mapping supports this)
2. Use lirc to grab the device, intercept the key presses and redirect
them. However... the device appears as a single hid device but there are
two discrete functions. When on the remote side we want translation to
occur and when on the keyboard side we will not want any input translation.
I understand that a signal is sent when the remote is turned over which we
may be able to use to turn the input translation on and off (especially if
the signal use for being turned over to remote side and keyboard side is
different)
3. Use the remote in IR mode and the keyboard as a hid device. This is
surely the simplest solution but requires an ir receiver and an ref
receiver.

Any other ideas.

Please excuse brevity and pistakes as this email was composed on a mobile

Just you apparently.  It might catch on though.

I thought that name for the script might amuse someone, so I'm glad you 
were paying attention.

cheers
