Recomend a Remote for XP use

phanco · 2007-04-13, 11:40

I have just installed MP on an XP Home based PC (my Daughters).

I would like to get a remote that she can use to control - there are loads of Media Centre remotes on eBay but would I be right in thinking that the drivers are only supplied in MCE ? Or could I download and install the drivers seperately and use the remote for MP ?

Or can anyone recommend another device.

I have a Hauppauge USB Stick DVB-T tuner at present.

This is the BEST and most common remote for the average user of XP and MediaPortal.

Installation instructions found here http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mc...remote+xp+home

This allows all the keys to be functional on the remote, if XP does not automatically install the remote when the receiver is pluged in.

I eventually found the MCE Remote drivers at http://www.team-mediaportal.com/comp...leinfo/id,134/

Now if only I could get my Nova-T USB working !!
