I have the Harmony 676 (Love it), and the Belkin Mediapilot http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?s ... c=101&sp=1

At the time I didn't know if I trusted the Microsoft keyboard in Linux. The Belkin is plug and play. Only downside is the plastic squeaks. No biggie.

The remote cannot learn the keyboard as it is RF. I actually keep my base station in a closet. You can teach the keyboard your remote though...

Hi Almost there getting Myth Done and working, last thing, my remote, wich is this one: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/produ ... NTID=10929 Now i figures the easy way to get it to work, would be buy a wireless, infared keyboard, and then just let the remote learn from the keyboard. Can any tell me if this keyboard would work in Linux? Kinda like it since, it got a mouse in it also. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse ... px?pid=038 Could any point me towards a keyboard wich is wireless, that you had working? where you used a remote to learn the commands?

SHould they work out of the box in Linux/Mythtv ?
