[mythtv-users] RF remote recommendation

[Harry McGregor]

Hi,

There is actually an MCE remote that is wireless, it was originally made 
by KeySpan (now owned by Trip Lite).

https://www.tripplite.com/rf-remote-control-for-windows-7-vista~ERV2/

Amazon.com wants about $44 for it, 
https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Keyspan-ER-V2-Control/dp/B000S69336

Amazon.ca has it for $28.22 CDN, but I don't know what shipping would 
be, if they will even ship outside of Canada
