How do I get these remotes to work with MediaPortal?

tan567 · 2006-10-23, 11:32

Hi guys,
I was wondering - how do you get X10 remotes working with MediaPortal?
Do you have to have an X10 Computer Interface attached?
I am not sure.

Also, I have an infrared port on my laptop. Could I get other IR Remotes working with MediaPortal because I have this?

And do MCE remotes work through infrared or RF, or anything else?

Thanks for your help!

My X10 remotes works with an RF-reciver hooked to a USB-port. Setting it up in config is real easy (although I am experiencing "double-tapps).

From what I have heard, the interanl IRDA can not be used with the MS-remote (or any remote, I belive).
