[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 274175, member: 72093"] I spent ages looking at remotes a few years ago (see RemoteCentral). The one I >USE< is a programmable HomeTheatre MX-500, lots of hard buttons and a small LCD screen for naming (20 per device, 10 devices) special buttons. It's a learning remote but it's the only one I have around. I'd bought the MCE remote and "use" this configuration in MediaPortal as already noted it works well and has an IR receiver on a long string. My main advice is to go for something you like the look and (if possible) the feel of. I avoid LCD remotes (had a Pronto amongst others) simply because you HAVE to look at them, hard buttons you can just use by touch. Programmable remotes avoid a lot of clutter and battery searching and YOU can decide what keys do what. (My spouse used to point the pronto at the ceiling to see the screen and press the screen and complain that it didn't work very well - in absolute terms I agree! It was good fun to play with though.)
