The remote was enabled by a kludge in rc.local and that quit working
because a command preceding the kludge failed.

It was  "echo -n 15  >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold" which was intended
to modify the cpu frequency scaling.  rc.local ran before I increased the
RAM. I commented out that line and now the remote works.

I am going to try the Mythbuntu system and see if it is stable.
