To use a remote with a mythTV setup you need to install LIRC.
sudo apt-get install lirc
The install will then ask what remote you have and give you a list of options. I have a Anyware HA-IR01SV Infrared Certified MCE VISTA Remote Control so I selected:
Windows Media Remote (new version)
It then asks about an IR transmitter, which I do not have so I selected none.
It then finishes the install. You can test LIRC by using the command irw. This will then pause the terminal. Press the buttons on your remote and if everything is working the buttons you pushed will show up on the terminal. to quit irw use crtl-c.
We will then need to configure a lircrc file to use with mythtv and other programs but that will be done later.
restart the computer (although not needed I like to do it anyways)
sudo reboot now.
