Support for Mediagate Learning remote or Recommended learning remote?

[Dan K. <kel...@um...>]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I did not see anything in a 
search of the list.  So I apologize for asking it again. :)

I'm looking at building my first HTPC using MythTV and want to find a 
remote to go with it.  I want an IR learning remote so that I can teach 
it to use my receiver and TV as well as control the PC.

I see that the MCE and MCE2 remotes are supported under LIRC and 
searching for a Media Center Remote that is learning revealed the 
MediaGate GV-IR01WT remote for a good price 
(http://www.coolerguys.com/840556082460.html as a reference).  Will this 
remote work for me?  What other remotes will work for me?

For remote specs, I'm looking for something in the sub $50 range that is 
learning and can do at least 3-4 devices (HTPC, TV, Receiver, optionally 
DVD player).  I want a learning remote because I don't know which 
receiver I'm getting yet and I want to be sure it works for that.  I 
also want to be sure it works with my TV (Olevia 232V) which as far as I 
can tell the way to get a working remote is a learning remote.

Thanks.
