[mythtv-users] Hauppauge remote; how to activate? [2nd of 2 questions]

Along with my Hauppage HVR-2250 there came a remote that I'd like to use with my MythBuntu box.  I don't see much of a model number or serial number on the remote.  The only identifier is a sticker on the back that says "RC6".  

Continued use of a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard for my own use isn't such a big deal. 
HOWEVER
This is also the family's replacement for a regular TV.

** I have to at LEAST get this one remote working, and can't figure out how. 

Side issue: 
Both my wife and I have Android phones, the Samsung Galaxy S (hers is a S2, mine is a S3).  
Installed in both is the "mythmote" application. 
A setting for this app that I can not recall HAS been set in the MythTV settings.  
It would be nice if I could get all three remotes to work.  
(Although not at the same time of course!)



Can anyone provide me with some advice on how to get the Hauppauge remote working? 




======================================== 
Below I've copied and edited the text from my first [September 11, 2013 3:17:17 PM CDT] message that describes my system. 
======================================== 

I've built a Frontend/Backend box with the following:
* Intel DH77KC motherboard,
* Intel i3-3240 C5U (LGA115)
* a pair of KingSton memory sticks: “KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G”
* and a refurbished 1TB HD from one of the big names.

* There is NO separate video card. 
* The main video out is via the on-board HDMI connector to a (16:9) HDTV that's one floor up from the box. 
* There's also a (4:3) monitor, connected to the "Display Port" connector, that is located next to the box.  This monitor's output mirrors most of the the upper left section of the HDMI output.  
* The DVI connector is not used at this time. 

* the (first) tuner card is the Hauppage HVR-2250.
* the (second) tuner card is the Hauppage HVR-1800. 
dmesg | grep -i haup
[ 6.693488] CORE saa7164[0]: subsystem: 0070:8851, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 2250 [card=7,autodetected]
[ 6.889861] CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 0070:7801, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1800 [card=2,autodetected]
...and two more lines.
* The IR sensor/cable for the Hauppage remote HAS been installed. 

* The CD used to install the OS is labeled: "MythBuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso",
* The current version of Linux appears to be: “3.5.0-23-generic”. 
* Another command line entry of: “apt-cache policy mythtv” gave me the results (identical for Installed and Candidate) of:  	  2:0.25.2+fixes.20120802.46cab93-0ubuntu1
