I don't currently use it for MythTV though, (I have a logitech harmony for
that). It's a good app and does also have a tasker plug-in if you are into
mega-automation.  On my mythtv I have the old Microsoft Media Centre
receiver. Will give Smart  remote a go later on my mythtv.

On the subject of Logitech Harmony, there is the Harmony Ultimate, which
includes the Harmony hub, this has an android app and the hub sends the IR.
There is also a 3rd party api which can control the hub from a
linux/windows command line.
