In the meantime I found serial IR receivers with remotes for $1 each on the bay (link below; I just received the two I ordered). I will give that a try first and reserve the MediaPC as a backup. Thanks, again! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220261961021&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=012 Thanks for the tip.

I purchased the "cough" Microsoft MediaPC Remote and USB Receiver which works very well with Linux go figure. From the LIRC section here: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#lirc The Microsoft USB XP MCE like this: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Center-Control-Receivier/dp/B000FNDPS6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1217095340&sr=8-1 Not sure if that's the exact one, you'll have to check on the model numbers and all. But I don't use the MS remote, I use the harmony remote with the USB IR reciever that comes with it. Works great. I'll try and post of the LIRC config file I'm using later.

Not sure if that’s the exact one, you’ll have to check on the model numbers and all. But I don’t use the MS remote, I use the harmony remote with the USB IR reciever that comes with it. Works great.

I have Mythtv running on Ubuntu using an RF remote with good results. However, I need to get my new Harmony 880 remote to work with Lirc. How did you do it? What IR receiver did you use? The Lirc website says using a USB IR receiver is not possible. Did you get it to work or did you use another receiver for the 880 in your system? Thanks! Frank Morris Satellite Beach, FL Hi,
