MythTv Remote Control

[chip33az at netscape.net]

I have a MythTV front end running on a Via EPIA in the kitchen with a 
remote.

It is a Streamzap USB remote.  I bought it online for around $30. 

I just followed the CVS instructions on the lirc.org website.  You might 
need to install some other programs, such as automake, but it generally 
tells you (actually, I followed the steps on the Debian install on 
madwifi.org to get the system ready).

After you install it, there is a configuration file for the remote which 
is located on lirc.org or google it.  There is also a startup script 
that needs to run.  I found that on the MythTV wiki.  It gives you the 
script and where/how to install it.

I might get rid of this and go with SageTV.  I tried the 15 day demo and 
really like it.  I'm using a Hauppauge MediaMVP in the family and for 
$90, it is cheap enough.  I'm still thinking about this though.
