<br>It seems that buying just an IR receiver is costlier than buying a remote with a IR receiver. That doesn't make a lot of sense. With all the old remotes around it would be nice to buy a receiver and program whatever remote... Is it possible to find a good inexpensive USB IR receiver?<br>
<br>The mythtv wiki has a couple of pages on MCE remotes and it looks like one needs to be careful about which one to get.<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote</a><br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Generic_HID_%22MCE%22_Remotes">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Generic_HID_"MCE"_Remotes</a><br><br><br>These two appear fairly similar and work from what I can tell. A similar Pinnacle model for $29.99 did not seem to work well for one mythbuntu user. What is most preferred by people?<br>
