I played with this a couple of months ago when i first learned about 
it, but have yet to implement it with my myth-box (i really need a 
second cable box). it worked great (after i figured out that you have 
to add "import sys" to the top of the remote.py script) with my 
comcast-boston dct box running 7.54.

cheers,
