<pre style="background:rgb(255,255,255)">I would not declare success with just the arrow keys working, but it
is definitely a good start. It is probably better not to tweak Edit
Keys but rather to edit the $HOME/.lirc/mythtv file. That way you can
just copy that file to the other MythTV boxes. When you use Edit
Keys, you are also changing what the keyboard keystrokes are. Altering
the $HOME/.lirc/mythtv file only affects the remotes.</pre>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;background:rgb(255,255,255)">
Follow-up to this – a bit of editing to the /.lirc/mythtv file and
got the basic functions to work; had to make a few concessions as
don’t have 101 keys to play with like on a keyboard, plus
preferring to use the semi-basic remote that came with the TV just
so
nothing extra on the counter. (Could use a programmable remote.…)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;background:rgb(255,255,255)">
At this point have the Seiki TV’s remote able to control
play/pause, delete, bookmark, closed captioning, information as
desired; the Fast Forward and Rewind functions – acceptable.
Probably assign another key other than the arrow keys as they work
properly for everything else (menu selection, etc.).</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I usually map the ARROW KEYS, ENTER, ESC, MENU, PAUSE PLAY, COMMERCIAL JUMP, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN.
