[mythtv-users] IR device

[Joe Votour]

I use an IRMan from evation, and it works great.

The serial cable on it is pretty long, so that you can
place the box away from the computer, and the receiver
seems to have better range than my TV set.  IR isn't
perfect though, you have to point the remote in the
vicinity of the IRMan.

Also, note that if you have an IR keyboard (as I did),
you'll find that the IRMan might conflict with it.
