I can't speak for the other brands, but I got the Microsoft one and it worked like a charm with mythbuntu. Pretty much just selected it from a dropdown menu and it worked - I have since customized the setup though.<br>
<br>Here is the one I got (though I got it through an amazon retailer):<br><br><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880100851" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880100851</a><br>
<br>It came with two blasters, and the receiver will accept any remote signals I think (you do have to set up the lirc files for the remote though). There is a mythtv wiki page on these mce remotes too.<br><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote" target="_blank">http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote</a><br>
