For the most part, this works well. The main drawback is that the IR receiver<br>occasionally misses the key-up part of the IR signal from the URC-6131<br>remote, and MythTV responds as if this were many keypresses in quick
<br>succession. Perhaps disabling auto-repeat in X would fix this, but I haven't<br>gotten around to trying it. I have yet to see this happen when I'm using the<br>actual keyboard.</blockquote><div><br>I had the exact same problem - very annoying when it happened when increasing the volume ! :-) And indeed, turning off auto-repeat does the trick. I just added "xset r off" to my .xinitrc and that solved the problem perfectly.
<br><br>As far as remotes go, I learned my keyboard keystroke on a Sony RM-VL600 and it's quite nice - all the buttons I need, and it's relatively inexpensive - around $40 canadian. Good simple combination without futzing with a serial lirc receiver. Highly recommended.
