I saw that yesterday but it doesn't go into much detail. If I understand 
this right, there would be a config setting in MythTV to use such a 
device as the device to control, otherwise it would try and change the 
channels of the TV card itself. Do you have a config such as this? Can 
you elaborate? Thanks, Peter
