Ok so I found this file for my remote. http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/universal/R7 I have Mythbuntu installed on my computer. I think it's a slightly older version probably 8.1x or something. It seems the file I found just tells LIRC what signal each button sends when it is pressed.

I have two questions:

1)How do I install this file http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/universal/R7 in Mythbuntu. I looked into the Control Center, but it has two places that accept a file location and I'm not sure which one this file belongs to
2)Once I install that file how do I then tell MythTV what I want each button press to do?

If you no somewhere that has step by step directions for someone who is comfortable with computers, but new with Linux/Ubuntu that would be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks in advance for your help!
