Surely any of the programmable universal remotes are good candidates?

Volcane,

Recommend one that you might have used perhaps ?

Check MythTV pages. Microsoft remotes are quite popular over there.

I've used an older Microsoft MCE remote (can be found for around $30 at sites like NewEgg.com) as well as a Logitech Harmony programmed to act like the Microsoft MCE app.

To use the Logitech however, you'll need Windows or Mac OS X to configure it. I really like the heft and feeling of the MCE remote and it works perfectly with the lirc-mce configs. If it was more universal of a remote, I would still use it, however, the Logitech allows me to turn on the TV and Amplifier, and change all the inputs correctly based on what I want to do (Mythtv, music, straight cable to the TV, etc.)

If they're supported, they work. I bought the StreamZap because it was supported out-of-the-box by MiniMyth, the distro I use on my front-end.

I'm also interested.
Could you please make a review when you'll find out? :-)

If you're able to read french, you should have a look at http://www.llaumgui.com/tag/LIRC

Thanks for the feedback guys, I have ordered a Logitech and a SpeedLink remote. Once they get here, I'll do a write up with details on how I got along.

You must have seen the remote at home - I think that is. Next bank weekend roll up with your laptop and get cracking. :)
