[mythtv-users] IR Receiver for 'One-for-All' Universal Remote

[Curtis Gedak]

I'm not sure if the following will help, but here's what I recall from 
memory.

I believe that the UK ebay remote referred to was at one time referred 
to as a Phillips 5100 4in1 MCE Remote Control.  Strangely it is 
difficult to find this remote on the web now.  I had referred to it in a 
Installing Mythbuntu 14.04 tutorial [1] I wrote but the kodi wiki link 
in the tutorial no longer displays a page of remote controls.

If I recall correctly this remote acts like a keyboard and a mouse so is 
different than a standard MCE remote with just buttons.
