[mythtv-users] lircrc for XP Media Center Edition remotes?

[Gordon Murphy]

The HP remote has an extra button called "Recorded TV".  That single
button made the difference between my wife complaining about MythTV (she
thought the menus were too "hard" to navigate) and my wife loving it.

Here's a link to the remote at HP
(http://www.shopping.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpdirect/shopping/scripts/product_de
tail/product_detail_view.jsp?product_code=P5316B%23ABA&script_name=produ
ct.cgi).  I really can't say enough about this remote, its perfect for
MythTV.  (Plus, I feel like I'm giving Microsoft the finger everytime I
use it.)

My understanding is that the various media center remotes all use the
same
protocol (rc6) and that the ir receivers behave the same. Besides the
phillips one (available at newegg) at least one other manufacturer's
combo
has been tried and worked just fine.

I believe the HP remote either has an extra button or is short one
compared to the phillips, but i'm not certain.
