I recently built a mythfrontend system using mythbuntu. I'm looking to purchase a remote that will allow me to control the TV (volume, power, inputs), and mythtv. Can anyone suggest a cost-effective remote that can work with 3rd party receivers?<br>
<br>
Also, I currently own an Ortek VRC-1100, and I have the Intel 7260HMW which comes with Bluetooth. Can either of those be used as a receiver, or do I need to purchase a separate receiver? If no, any suggestions for a receiver?<br>

I've just bought the logitech harmony companion remote which is the remote+hub (delivery in 2 days). remote talks to the hub via RF, and the hub does the communication with devices which allows IR and bluetooth communication to them. the 2 nucs i've tried are supported but not sure exactly what support that is.<br>
<a href="https://support.myharmony.com/en-gb/compatibility" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://support.myharmony.com/en-gb/compatibility</a> is worth a check if your interested.<br>
<br>
i'd avoid the harmony 650 which i'm currently using, due to IR strength issues, a few usability issues and no option to upgrade to the harmony hub box if you need non-IR devices controlled.<br>
i've used the harmony 555 before these, so i'm a fan on harmony remotes even if the 650 was a bad buy. more down to the remote itself than a flaw of the harmony ecosystem.<br>

I've never had strength issues with my Harmony 650 - except when the batteries need replacing. YMMV, of course.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
