XBMC remote

Hi all,

I hope this isn't too commercial, I believe it will interest a few.

I've been offered the distribution for Pulse Eight's new XBMC (will work
with MythTV of course) remote;

http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/96-motorola-nyxboard-remote-designed-for-xbmc.aspx

I think it should be pretty neat and will finally be available in the
next couple of weeks. It's plug and go with Linux.

We would have to buy at least 100 so I'm just trying to gauge interest
to see if it's worthwhile for us to do.

I guess the main sticking point is that it will be more pricey than your
average remote at around $85 inc. delivery - it does do more than your
average remote to make up for it though.

Cheers,

hads

That look great, I especially like the RF capability no need to ensure you are pointing at the TV.

Re: XBMC remote [In reply to]

FWIW the first one (pulse eight) is good for the family and the second
the mini keyboard is good for me

But I ave and use a wireless keyboard so I would have trouble justifying
any cost fr the mini keyboard, but if the remote can make te MythTV
boxmore intuitive I would buy one as the last step of setting up my box.

A quick update, I've negotiated a shipment of remotes for NZ/AU as soon
as they are available. Currently looking to be late September.

Sorry about the delay, they were meant to ship out last week but were

I've been hassling Pulse Eight and they should be arriving next week.
Will let you all know when they arrive.

Yeah they are neat looking aren't they. I'll be looking at bringing some
of those in with our next order - they weren't finished when I placed
the original order.

Damn those tea drinkers and their vintage brands.

Or are the local pirates equipped with WW2-era fighter-bombers ?

Incorrectly identified if so; the Typhoon never served in the Far East. Someone probably mistook a Tempest Mk V for one.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Just cos it wasn't there in the 40s doesn't mean they couldn't buy one
on ebay and get it shipped.

Noone remembers typhoon tea... But now we're getting a bit OT.

We've just received the first shipment of these today.

I've been playing with one on our system here and it appears to work
well. The i (INFO) key isn't mapped but everything else works correctly
in XBMC.

Things will need re-mapping to work in mythtv, the navigation works by
default.

They have a MC/TV button which switches between the default and a fully
programmable IR remote. I successfully programmed it to do the volume on
the receiver.
