[mythtv-users] RF remote recommendation

Are you using Bluetooth for the Harmony Hub's connection to Myth? If so,
how did you get all the buttons to work? My directional arrows, select and
a few other keys work, but play, pause, rewind, fast forward and others do
not. When I try to edit the key in the Myth front end setup, if I press a
button on the remote like play, it does not any key press at all so I can
get it to work.

I have an old MCE IR receiver but that didn't work with the Harmony Hub for
some reason even when paired properly.
