[mythtv-users] Hauppauge Remotes

[David Bourgoyne]

Hauppauge remote works great, just not enough buttons.  I bought a 
RadioShack 8in1 IR/RF Remote 15-2117 for $29.  The 15-2116 doesn't have 
the RF Station.  The RadioShack remote works great with the Hauppauge ir 
receiver, xbox and all tv's, vcr's in my home.  It also has a JP1 
connector for programming from the computer, but I haven't tried it.  I 
use the WinTV401, and have had no problems.
