Have you got ubuntu installed.

Can you not plug a usb keyboard into the machine?

Flirc now has a forum: forum.flirc.tv

If you ever used the smart/combo updater from the NitoTV menu then USB should be enabled on the unit, and you can connect a keyboard without having to install Linux. From there you can navigate to the native ATV option to learn a new remote, and then you can use any old remote (universal or not) as a replacement.

RemoteHD and Rowmote are two other options if you have an iOS device.

VNC is also an option, but I'm not sure what the steps are to install it. http://www.awkwardtv.org/ should have all that info.
