<div style="">Hi Martin , thanks for the reply. </div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">Yes I've applied the kitlaan patches - using a ppa
for mythbuntu. These remotes are heavily used by the family
and last a few weeks. </div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">Also when they get low on batteries they tend to
go a bit crazy ;key keeps repeating, even though the batteries
in the remote are removed.</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">I've also tried the bluetooth ng on google code. (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/">https://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/</a>)
This has similar problems. </div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">I've got 3xfrontends and 3x PS3 remotes with 3
different bluetooth adaptors. </div>

Hey thanks for the hint to PS3 BT remotes - just ordered one on eBay
because I do not always have good reception with my IR remote... I
will use it with Eneloop LSD rechargeable batteries and don't really
mind to change batteries every once in a while. <br>
<br>
I recommend Eneloop to you too, they give good performance (last
long without discharging too much when being left alone) in low
energy devices like a remote and you will save a lot of money if you
use them instead of replacing all the hardware. <br>
