If you were able to get MythTV up and running, why not take a stab at
programing your remote via JP1?  I was able to create a "remote
upgrade" code to control MythTV using my $25 One For All URC-8811 via
the hauppauge built in IR receiver.

It works great and does absolutely everything I could want it to
(minus the dishes unfortunately...)

Check out:

I just built my own JP1 cable from a spare IDE cable and some RatShack
parts using these instructions:

If anyone is interested in the Upgrade Code, I can post it...
