</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE> <BR> $250 isn't so bad, and it looks like you can actually get them for like $130-$160 now ( see pricegrabber page <A href="http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/remote-controls/m/7803953/search=harmony+880">here</A> but having to use Windows to the configure the remote isn't optimal. I guess it doesn't happen too often though. Is there a recommended remote to emulate with LIRC?<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV>I emulate the PVR-150 remote since that's what I upgraded from. It actually took me a lot longer to tweak than I was expecting but mostly because I control volume with my receiver and not with MythTV plus I added functions to set up all my game systems, turntable, SA-CD player, etc, etc. However, that's why I splurged and got this remote. I set it up with my MacBook Pro (since I don't have a Windows machine) but after several rounds of tweaks to buttons, adding "Activities" and devices, I haven't had to plug it in again and I'm very happy with it.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It's nice to hit "Watch Recordings" and have the TV and Receiver turn on and set to the right input, and have myth change to Watch Recordings screen. Or to be watching something and hit Power Off to have the TV and receiver turn off and have Myth exit whatever it's doing and go to the main menu. Like I said.. lots of tweaks. :)</DIV></BODY></HTML>
