[mythtv-users] MCE remote and Mythbuntu

[Monkey Pet]

Generic USB MCE remotes are very cheap on ebay, so if you can't get yours
working, might as well order another one from ebay and save the
frustration.  The ones i have ordered work as a USB-HID, so they work right
out of the box.  It took some tweaking to get some extra buttons working.
