Hi Mike.

Thanks for this, gave me a really good head start. Done a little bit of
work on it and I'd like to get the OK from you to use a GPL or similar
license on the code.

You can find what I've been up to at http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/,
with a mock up of the remote at
http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/remote/layout.html.

You can also find the modified/updated code at
http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/remote/index.php

I've based the images on some that are already published under Creative
Commons, so I was planning on keeping them under that license.

For the moment I'll pass this onto the guy we are doing all of this work
for to see if he is happy.

Steve
