</div>Yes, it takes commands for tuning channels over the Ethernet port, no<br>
messing with IR for tuning. It has a built in IR receiver, I think.<br>
I have never used it and don't know if it can be used by Myth.<br>
<div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>This is actually another benefit that the HDHR has over a PCIe card -- especially considering that you're running a combined FE/BE. With any PCIe card doing your recording on a box that's also your FE, you'll have to have a separate device to run the frontend interface, whether that be a serial, PCI/e, or USB infrared receiver. But with the HDHR sitting on your network, if you set it physically in a place where it can receive your remote control input then you can configure your frontend's lirc to listen for UDP data. I've got my HDHR on a little shelf of my entertainment center and can thus put my combined FE/BE back behind the entertainment center, away from the kids, pets, etc.<br>
