Did you know that you can have a button on the remote actioned by both
irexec and mythtv?

I use a power.sh script to use an IR blaster to turn my TV & amp on/off
and the power button code is used by mythtv to do a JumpToMainMenu
jump-point. That ensures that when I shut down I always come out of LiveTV
(saves disk space) and on 'powerup' I start at the top level menu.
