POLL: Which remote do you use?
1maynard:
I have been using URC programmable remotes for years. I bought my first one when their dealers would provide programming software with the purchase. I currently am using a MX 990 and it works very well for my needs. It controls all of our AV equipment and switches from one to the other with just one button push. I do not know what I will do when the current remote wears out since URC will not support remotes not bought and programmed by an authorized dealer.

Very nice remote.
You may be able to get a friendly dealer help you, or start going through the process to become a dealer yourself if you have a need to program it. It's probably not *that* dense once you have software and a tiny bit of documentation.
I'm sort of going through this as I poke around Crestron gear. In some ways this idea that 'only dealers can program it' is genius. A) no inane tech support questions from consumers. B) It *tanks* the value of older gens of gear, if you're smart enough to figure it out on your own, you're looking at getting crazy toys for peanuts.

I have a Flirc but it's seems close to unsupported at this point and isn't plug and play on linux.
I'd rather find something in that form factor that works with the default Lirc drivers on linux.
There are like 30 different devices listed for it.

Ah okay, we're in a similar boat. So FLIRC is going to require you to use their software to program it. Once it's programmed, whatever you plug it into is going to receive the chosen hotkeys.
I went through this, (I hate the premise of being tied to a possibly unsupported, proprietary GUI to program devices, probably why you're a little hesitant) and wasn't really sure of the best no driver linux option. Would love input from people too on what they like!
