i got myself a harmony 525 (the cheapest of the harmony lineup) and it works perfectly with my hauppauge ir reciever. one drawback tho', you must have windows to configure it. that was a bit of a sore point for me as i dont have windows in the house, and had to bring it to work to configure it.. ;-(
<br><br>other than that, i could recommend it.. ;-)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 05/03/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dan Cronstein</b> <<a href="mailto:dcronstein@fuse.net">dcronstein@fuse.net</a>> wrote:

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. <br><br><a href="http://www.remotecentral.com/ureview/116.htm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.remotecentral.com/ureview/116.htm</a><br></div><br></div></blockquote>
