Mythtv works in tandem with LIRC www.lirc.org. You can build a device,
which they give excellent details on, which transmits the same signals
as your remote. You will have to check their capatibility guide. I
haven't finished this aspect of my installation so I'm not 100% sure how
it really works.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Will it just work, just
easy
as that?
