I played with this a couple of months ago when i first learned about
it, but have yet to implement it with my myth-box (i really need a
second cable box). it worked great (after i figured out that you have
to add "import sys" to the top of the remote.py script) with my
comcast-boston dct box running 7.54.
cheers,
