It's actually easier to setup than most LIRC configurations, albeit you have a more limited range of buttons to access the functionality of XBMC but all the important ones are there.I didn't know this. Is it possible to just plug in an MCE receiver and use an MCE remote? There was o setting up the remote on my end, just install XBMC and I was good to go.
If you have an iphone or android based phone or tablet though, the need for a remote is pretty much gone now anyway. The apple tv is a great device, however it seems there are a few residing samba issues that I'm sure will be solved in the near future.
