[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 334146, member: 64243"] That last one is a nice remote, and should work nicely with Mediaportal.. BUT it is INFRA RED, not radio as you wish. An official Microsoft remote should work without setup out of the box.. at least mine did :) No driver installation needed, No Key mapping or other difficult things to do.. plug it in and it works. It is if you want more things to do with your remote like opening and closing of other programs then it starts to get complicated. something like this: [url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DELL-MICROSOFT-MEDIA-CENTER-REMOTE-CONTROL-RC6_W0QQitemZ310099464005QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item310099464005&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318]DELL MICROSOFT MEDIA CENTER REMOTE CONTROL RC6 on eBay, also, PC Remote Controls, Keyboards, Mice Input, Computers Networking (end time 10-Dec-08 17:22:15 GMT)[/url] There are also bundles for sale, including an IR Receiver.
