[mythtv-users] frontend only remote?

[Louis Adamich]

I used the circuit here - 
http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/HardWare_2fRemoteControls_2fHomeMadeSerialReceiver 
- but where the tsop is I put in a phono jack the same size as the one 
on the cable that came with the remote.  It all fit into the cable hood 
of the serial connector.  I plug the serial connector into the serial 
port and the cable into the connector.
