First time poster...
I'm just starting to plan a simple htpc, but I'm on a bit of a budget. Many of the remotes that I've seen would push the cost of this beyond what I can justify.
If a remote says that it's a MCE remote, does that automatically mean that it's going to work with MP? My needs will be very simple. I don't need every possible function. I'll just want to be able to select a video, play, pause, next, etc.
I found this ultra-cheap remote:
USB PC Remote Control for Windows ME/2000/XP, MCE
This actually looks too crummy even for me, but I figure that if THIS works...
