The flirc receiver does not care what remote you use. Here is a picture of
the programming app:

The programming, or pairing as they call it, goes like this:
1) plug receiver
2) click the 'M' key on the virtual keyboard in the app
3) press the "Menu" button on your favorite remote
4) repeats steps 2 & 3 for every key/button combo you want to program

Now every time you press the "Menu" button on your favorite remote, the
computer and MythTV frontend software think that you pressed the 'M' key on
a real keyboard. The same goes for all the key/button combos that you
programmed.
