[mythtv-users] Easiest most supported Remote

[Joseph H. Fry]

By far the most supported remote solution is to use a learning remote to
learn the different keystrokes from a IR keyboard and interface with the
system through the keyboards receiver (aka no lirc unless your
controlling an external tuner)

It works, is highly configurable, and is software independent.

Just please don't drive up the cost of the Marantz RC2000mkII on ebay...
I still have to get mine ;-)
