By far my favorite remote for one of my MythTV frontends is a (very)<br>old school RCA remote. Seems like it's a RCU-810? Hang on,<br>googling... Yep! If you can get your hands on a few of these they<br>make great remotes. They have Learning keys to control "future"
<br>products and Macro keys to give you that "Harmony" feel. The 2<br>biggest downfalls are the weight of the unit (which is not that bad,<br>but you have to pick something right?) and the lack of overall<br>enthusiasm. I'd expected everyone on the planet to think these were
<br>"the bomb diggie" rather than the Harmony options. But since the<br>world decided Harmony was "where it's at" I broke down and got a few.<br>Overall the Harmony doesn't suck, but in general I have a much better
<br>feel from using my RCA.</blockquote><div><br>While searching for these, I ran into the JP1 project. As if I have time for more hobbies. Anyway, I just bought two URC-8910's. I hope I like them . . they were cheap enough ($40 for both).
<br><br>Plus, since I'm sure I'll be messing with JP1 ( <a href="http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/">http://www.hifi-remote.com/jp1/</a> ), those are compatible :)<br><br>I'll keep ya posted!<br></div><br></div><br>
