[mythtv-users] hp media center remote

[Mitchell Gore]

well this makes no sense but i swapped out the IR Receiver with another on
a different frontend and it worked fine.  For some reason the HP receiver
plugged into the LIVA would not work but if i plug it into my zbox it works
fine.  All the remotes are interchangeable too.

I just ended up swapping them out and calling it good.  maybe its a power
thing or something.
