[mythtv-users] bluetooth remote

[Michael Drons]

I picked up the Sony Bluetooth remote and having some issues getting it to work.

The PC is running gentoo with Bluetooth 4.39 (net-wireless/bluez-4.39-r2).

I push the start-enter keys and using the hcitool scan command I see the device pair with the computer. 

BUT, the device disconnects after about 1 minute.  

I never receive anything with irw.

Is this a common remote in use?  Or should I give up and get an IR remote?

I liked the non-line of site requirement of bluetooth.

Thanks, Mike
