<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I decided to use
the
‘b’ option: only one item to change (though Find-and-Replace
wouldn’t be much work!) plus I’m considering cloning the SD card
to use on a second (TV) set – naturally a different brand and
remote! One master backup SD card would make things a little
easier.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Here I’ll admit to
not following instructions on purpose (!) I had had to power boot
because the RPi had locked up – nothing due to your commands but
when when I inserted the thumbdrive a tiny bit of static
electricity
even though I had touched metals (metal ring of the thumbdrive
connector to finger and finger to metal case of RPi). </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">So ended up with a
fresh boot since Mythfrontend was started and figured I’d try. <b>Yea!!
The Seiki Remote works!! </b> At least up here on the
monitor – will move down to where the TV is later. (Will work,
just have to see what happens with both the TV and RPi looking at
the
same remote, though TV vs HDMI Input on the TV may make that
difference.) </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Will have to figure
what key on the remote does what but the basic functions of moving
highlighted text with the arrow keys works so I’m presuming all
assigned keys work; may have to tweak with Edit Keys but that’s
expected.</p>
