Fixed the top posting...

I had a gyration too.  It worked, but I got sick of replacing the 
batteries.  It also lost sync at the most inconvenient times, like 
when I was showing the system off to my in-laws.

Tried the LIRC route before that, much better results than 
Gyration, but only because of the sync issues.  

An airboard + RS 15-2116 is awesome.  I have one of those, 
plus a couple other programmables.  I just picked up another 
MX-500 off ebay for fairly cheap, cloned it last night and 
now I've got the exact same remote in my bedroom as in 
the guest bedroom.  It took me all of 30 seconds to clone 
the remote.  And all function keys are identical.

Now if I could only find 4 or 5 more of those...
