                  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?

    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>
