Rating: - excellent with MythTV
I've been using several of these units with a whole-house MythTV setup for several years. They are very well supported under Linux's LIRC program, and work flawlessly. It's also very nice to have the same remote for every TV in the house--very good for the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor).
Rating: - You get what you paid for...
When I bought this I had very high expectations for this but when I received it and started using it I was disappointed. The software to configure it could be better and more friendly to the user.

Rating: - Workes great with mythtv
Bought it to use with my mythtv setup. Works great. The IR receiver is wonderful. I could control it with my regular TV (Sony SXRD) remote. The included remote is pretty good too. Nice feel to the buttons and feels comfortable to hold.

OK hardware with a limited & unreliable driver. No customer service. I strongly recommend AGAINST the purchase of this remote.

Initial impression was moderately favorable. The remote is packaged with a driver CD. A quick web-site check showed the CD to ... Read More
