[QUOTE="Stéphane Lenclud, post: 1200455, member: 140174"] Good, you should send it back. The remote you bought is not compatible with Microsoft standard MCE remotes. Of course you could get it to work but it will be a pain. If you need an external receiver I would recommend the following from Inteset: [URL]http://shop.inteset.com/usb-external-infrared-ir-receiver-only-with-cable[/URL] [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YFC2IQ8[/URL] I have never tried it myself however I've had the most pleasant experience with an [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/inteset-pc-irs5-01-universal-infrared-receiver-internal-review.133552/']internal variant[/URL] of that same hardware. Inteset also sells a remote which is apparently highly praised too: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4I1BAY[/URL] Alternatively you could use another kind if universal remote control such as Logitech Harmony or Philips Prestigo. If you want a similar solution with both remote and receiver go for this kind of HP remote: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/HP-Infrared-Receiver-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00KDNIRYA/ref=pd_sim_23_2/159-7314426-8581000?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=184DYNY456K1CFP11BJ0[/URL] This one should do too: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Microsoft-Center-Control-Receiver/dp/B006TPPVKE/ref=sr_1_8?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1478617029&sr=1-8&keywords=MCE+remote[/URL] [/QUOTE]
