[mythtv-users] RF remote

[jjlong]

I have this remote and have had a lot of luck programming it to work
with all of my other devices.  I agree that the button layout is a
little awkward, but overall I'm happy with it.  

I haven't had much luck setting it up with myth though.  I tried
installing it like the ATI remote but I was never able to make it work.
I searched all the LIRC and Myth archives, but never found anything that
was much help.  I gave up on it for now, but would really like to make
it work in the future.

config problem). But overall, it's serviceable.
