+Remote Controls
+---------------
+
+If you are using MythTV with just a remote control then it is suggested that you
+map the remote control keys as described below. Your remote control may not
+have the same set of keys as those named below, the names are only a suggestion
+that roughly correspond to the function.
+
+If you are adding new key bindings to the program then consideration of this
+suggested list will help users with remote controls.
+
+This list assumes a minimal remote control that only has 20 keys, nearly all
+features can be used with this configuration. If you have more keys then you
+can access all of the features. With only 16 keys most features are usable.
