Hello all,
As the subject says, it's really not a MythTV question, but more of a
hardware question.
My remote control devices have become unmanageable. Since I started
using S/PDIF on my main front end it's added another remote to be used
with the entertainment unit.
Currently have a Rosewill usb remote
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880101002&cm_re=ir_receiver_usb-_-80-101-002-_-Product
Works fine with my Zotac and M350 case, but I need to control two other units.
My setup -
Panasonic PT-53WX53 rear projection TV
Sony STR-K660P audio receiver
MythTV front end
I believe the the Rosewill IR/USB remote is RC6 compliant.
I don't know much about IR devices, and if these other two are RC6
compliant or proprietary.
Does anybody have suggestions about a universal remote that can be
programed to control all these devices?
I really only need to be able to power on/off the Panasonic TV. A
button to control the video inputs would be nice in case I ever attach
other devices to it. The Sony audio only really needs power on/off
and volume. And the Myth front end really only needs the MCE buttons
to navigate.
I know Logitech has some pretty expensive remotes that might work.
Would like cheaper options.
Hopefully somebody in this group can shed some light.
Thanks
