Vista Remote (Rock Remote Controller - RM-VR1) (1 Viewer)

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.

 

[nfenech]

Yes, i'm using XP. So i wonder it if will still work?

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

No checked, it is only supported by Vista.

 

[nfenech]

Well that sux. Thanks though.

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?)
