I think I understand what you are asking...  Here's the way the remote
works AFAIK:
The remote that comes with the card does not necesarily change the
channel on the card.  you use the remote and the card to send signals to
the driver.  What the driver does with it is up to you (the programmer),
for example, you can tell it to re-boot the computer everytime you press
the volume up key...

So the short answer is "yes, you can use that remote for mythtv".  Do
read up in the list about the two different remotes that come with the
cards though.  IIRC they both work but one's better than the other...
