[mythtv-users] OT: two new remotes

..and for anyone looking for a more conventional remote control
that is dead simple to setup in Mythtv (no LIRC!), I recommend
this particular $13 (delivered!) unit to my friends:

Contrary to the advertising, it is NOT a Win-MCE remote control,
but that's a "plus" in my books!  :)

There is a "driver" for it in stock kernels, though it's pretty poor.

So I've written my own input (keyboard) driver for it,
and source code is available on request.  Installation is very
very simple:  "make install", no reboot required.
The driver is preconfigured with mythtv mappings for most keys.

Cheers
