[mythtv-users] RF remote

Just got the Niveus PC Remote, which seems to be similar to the ATI
Remote Wonder and even uses the lirc_atiusb module. Setting up the USB
RF dongle with LIRC was very easy in my case, unlike the Hauppauge
remote that came with my capture card which was kind of a pain. The
Niveus is also an IR remote for controlling TVs, cable boxes, DVD
players, etc. I've got it working with my TV, cable box, and
PlayStation 2 (for DVDs), and you're supposed to be able to program
individual buttons using the original remote, but I haven't been able
to make that work yet.

As a remote, it's OK. The buttons are gummy, and the button layout is
kind of ridiculous (all the keys I find useful are tiny and scrunched
together towards the bottom of the unit). There's also some lag when
using the remote in RF mode, and so far keys aren't auto-repeating in
MythTV (probably a config problem). But overall, it's serviceable.
