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

[David Watkins]

Thanks All,

The FLIRC sounds like a good bet - I'll think I'll be ordering one.  Lots
of scope for fiddling.

...and it will get rid of a dangly cable and may even help me reach the
holy grail of being able to turn on my MythTV box on using the remote.
