</div>Do you mean IMON? If so, I'd think carefully. As far as the display,<br>
the VFD version might be alright (never seen it), but the LCD version<br>
(which is what I typically see most places) is horrible. The contrast<br>
on it is so terrible, it's unreadable from typical viewing distances.<br>
Second, the IR receiver only works with MCE remotes. Most of the<br>
remotes I own won't work with it.<br>

<br></font></blockquote><div>interesting and thanks for that info.<br>tbh, i use the Logitech Harmony remote, which i believe are IMON compatible, so IR transmitter compatibility isnt much of an issue.<br><br>VFD would be what i'd go for anyway; it would blend in nicely with my Onkyo AVR display.<br>
<br>as i mention in my previous post, current LIRC/TBS on the later kernels/distros is broken, so i am planning to replace my MCEUSB kit with something that would work. it's only 2 FE's, so cost is next to nothing. that obviously depends on what happens between now and mythtv pre-requisite of a kernel newer than mythbuntu 10.10.<br>
