It does not use LIRC. It looks like a keyboard to the
computer. There is a program that you run on Linux,
Windows, or Mac to map your remote's IR codes to
keyboard keys. It is extremely easy to program. The
process is similar to a learning universal remote.<br>

Can it use third-party, generic programmable IR remotes
such as the ones recently put forward here? Is that what
this program does?

<div class="gmail_extra">The flirc receiver does not care what

<div class="gmail_extra">The programming, or pairing as they
call it, goes like this:<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">1) plug receiver</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">2) click the 'M' key on the virtual

<div class="gmail_extra">3) press the "Menu" button on your

<div class="gmail_extra">Now every time you press the "Menu"
button on your favorite remote, the computer and MythTV

So how does that work when you're running a barebones X +
Mythfrontend setup and don't have a full Linux desktop installed? I
guess that's why I keep asking about LIRC. I know how to get things
to work with LIRC.<br>
