Default Vista Remote (Rock Remote Controller - RM-VR1)

Remote:

I'm wondering is there is support for the Vista Remote (Rock Remote Controller - RM-VR1)?
Does it work? Is there anything you need to get for it to work?
I don't have the remote yet, as i have a coolmaster remote working fine, but am looking at getting a new one.
Thanks.

it looks like a "normal" Microsoft infrared RemoteController. It should work with MP then without any extra tools/drivers to get it work. If it doesn't work properly, you can try GhostEvent to make it MP compatible, I guess.

Are you using Vista, because the drivers for ehome receiver are different to the xp ones, so the remote may not be recognised if using the xp OS.

So what remote does everyone else use?
I'm only using the HTPC for watching movies and TV shows (Downloaded). Was thinking of getting a MCE remote. (V2?)
