[mythtv-users] High Memory Learning Remote

[Calvin Harrigan]

Hi all, I've been reading through the archives looking for a suitable 
remote control to replace the one I'm using now.  The main reason is 
that the current remote has such a small memory foot print.  I'm using a 
learning remote control with a wireless keyboard pickup.  This works 
great except that it can only learn about 8  keys before running out of 
memory.  So what kind of remote controls are you guys using that learns 
enough to have full numeric and directional control.  I've thought about 
going the lirc route, but I use a lot of myths functionality, games, 
video, dvd, etc.  Getting lirc to work seemlessly with all those options 
(seperate programs) doesn't quite work.  I'd like to stay with keyboard 
inputs.  To that end, I've even considered writing a keyboard driver 
that can listen on the serial port for data to transmit directly to the 
lower levels of the console, hadn't looked in to it too deep, but sounds 
feasible.  Ideas?

Thanks,
Calvin...
