I gave up on the Edit Keys functionality and went back to using
Xmodmap, its a pain, but its bulletproof and it allows you to map the
odd keys to normal myth keys.<br>
Incidentally, I also performed the resistor modifcation to allow the
program and volume buttons.<br>
As soon as I did this the USB receiver stopped picking up the signals.<br>
I checked using a digital camera and the IR was definately transmitting
(digital camera's can see IR transmissions).<br>
It seems the USB dongle does not work with the modified remote.<br>
<br>
As soon as I returned the resistor back to the original setting then it
started working again.<br>
<br>
I thought something in software had broken and went round and round in
circles on this one for hours.<br>
I haven't tested but I'm assuming the serial version does work with the
modified remote.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing by the lack of info on the net that the USB dongle for
this remote is relatively rare.<br>
<br>

I am having problems setting up the key bindings, in particular the Esc
key which works in all parts of myth except for when watching a program.
It is very frustrating to have to get up and use a keyboard just to Esc.
Is there a trick I'm missing to get this working.
I've searched google and only found references to to the Serial dongle.
Although if this is actually a myth problem (keybinding the Esc key,
then others must have this problem with other remotes).

<pre wrap=""><!---->USB inputs generally end up as a HID device, with my HVR4000 remote only
the number buttons and arrows where mapped.
LIRC can translate to mythtv ones. Doing that without LIRC is
apparently diffcult. Even then I still couldn't get all the keys to work.
I ended up using a serial receiver with my one instead.
If the Skystar still includes a serial receiver try that.
