MythTV Remote – URC6131n

This is my remote there are many like it but this one is mine …

This is the remote I use for all my MythTV boxes.  To me its basically perfect  for a number of reasons

  1. It doesn’t look too different from a regular remote, unlike some others, and so it doesn’t look out of place
  2. Its from OneForAll and so almost every media device I have that can be controlled with a remote (it does have some trouble with DVD/VCR combos)
  3. Its got keymover and all the other advanced all for one stuff so its pretty configurable (more so than I have yet to need)

Of course there are a couple of improvements I would like

  1. JP1 (I understand you can add this with some parts and some soldering)
  2. Its getting harder to find at a good price, < $10
  3. I might be nice if the navigation pad had 8 directions instead of 4 so you could have the mouse daemon move diagonally.  However this might be bad depending on how often you accidentally push the diagonals as it may interfere with menu navigation
