Logitech k830 $105 @ noel leeming this weekend. Pretty much the ultimate htpc keyboard. Yoy can't get it cheapest price incl getting from Amazon etc.
I see some of these htpc keyboards but they don't have the 'green button' .. is that something you'd just assign to some other key or something?
yes you could probably do that. I use htpc remote control. keyboard is only used if you have to logout of mediaportal to do something and you need a keyboard and mouse.

My 10c worth: I've used a Microsoft Media Centre Keyboard ever since I built my first HTPC (so it's nearly 10 years old now). It's great, it has shortcuts to everything e.g. TV Guide, Pics, Videos etc plus media buttons (i.e. play, stop, pause, volume, channel, back, info etc) and it has the Green Button. Night mode backlights the main keys and the batteries last for ages, easily 6 months. It also has a mouse toggle which takes a bit of getting used to but my wife and kids can use it (when watching Netflix for example) so it's not too bad.
My main remote is a Harmony One but for doing things that need a keyboard (or if it just happens to be closer) the MCE Keyboard gets a 10/10 from me.

yeah, I have the same keyboard (scored it off tardme for $5 ! cos it didn't come with the receiver, but I already have the green button RC6 remote with which it communicates). I bought it maybe 3 years ago? have yet to change the batteries... but I switch it off when not in use.
Hi Guys
I wondered if any of you have been using Edalex's LogoManager plugin?
https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/utilities/logomanager
It's a good idea I think, and NZ radio and TV logos seem to have good support.
One issue though, the logos contained in the repository seem to have non-standard sizing so they display wonderfully in the EPG itself, but elsewhere where they get re-sized, they are distorted. It looks like this is because the logos are sizes like 190 x 52 etc.
Does any one know who owns / maintains the repository? The link to it is here:

Hi, the sizes are normal and vary a little. The logos were always 190 pixels on one or both sides, with padding to make them a 200x200 square. LogoManager can add the padding itself now and the MP2 version does an auto crop, so I've removed it.
How long have you had this problem, because I only made these changes a few hours ago? Which version of LogoManager are you running? If you go into 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\tv\logos' what size are the logos?

I have also been using this keyboard for the last 4 years, bought 2 in NZ, 1 for $50 and 1 for an incredible $1....sold 1 for $50 and kept the best one for free.....very nice board.
