[mythtv-users] SnapStream Firefly Remote

[Dean Blackburn]

Also, keep in mind that the Firefly is RF, not IR like the MCE Remote... 
So, flipping channels/changing volume from a room or two away also 
wouldn't be a problem...

Still looking to see if anyone's linuxed it yet, but it's probably just 
too new...
