I've done that before :-)
I'm just about to try this again, but I'm almost positive it didn't work
last time because lirc sends the key presses to which ever window has focus
at the time. So if my browser has focus on the CRT, even though mythfrontend
is running on the TV, any remote key presses go straight to the browser.

Will let you know.. :-)

Thanks,
