[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 548023, member: 13176"] From what I can find, all the M$ RC6 (Philips produced) remotes have now been dropped from production, the only products still available are existing stock from the likes of Dell\HP\Hauppauge and any China\Korean manufacturers that think its worthwhile producing them :( Looks like M$ is leaving the hardware side totally open for outsiders to market a remote if they think they can make money out of it, sadly not so much a problem maybe with modern programmable remotes that can emulate a mce remote, but then you do need a ehome capable receiver to work natively with any version of MCE, now if someone sold that as a seperate item, they would make a fortune out of them, just did a quick google and could not find a single standalone receiver for sale :( Edit, philips 5100 is end of line, no more stock is being produced and no mention of any replacement [url]http://shop.philips.co.uk/store/rpeeub2c/en_GB/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/parentCategoryID.20576100/categoryID.20578300?origin=google_3716990_331721866_B[/url] [/QUOTE]
