I have seen so many posts in the last 2-3 weeks that have never been answered, probably because you are tired of answering the same questions over and over. Just leaving these people hanging is sad. The remote control I just got working is yes, simple to do, once you figure it out.My remote came with no instructions and neither does MediaPortal on how to Activate the Buttons.But all I had to do was to:1. Start MediaPortal Configure.2. Click on (remote) in the left side of the screen.3. Put a (Check Mark) in the box next to (use Microsoft MCE remote or keyboard).4. Click on (Mapping).5. Click the (+) sign next to (Microsoft MCE remote).6. Click one at a time on each of the (+) signs and (Activate) the actions I wanted the remote to do and hit (Apply).7. Click ok.8. Click ok.9. Start MediaPortal and try out the remote control.I can even change what I want the Buttons to do, by using the (Drop Down Arrow) in the (Action) Preferences Area to pick a New Command then Click Apply, then ok.I have never activated a Remote Control before and I have been all over web looking for help, but I found nothing on what I just outlined above. It does not make any sense for MediaPortal not to have these kinds of directions. So I guess what I am trying to say is,  I'm tired of spending hours and hour on the web trying to find simple answers for question like (how do I activate my remote control?) and finding out it only takes the Nine Processes above in MediaPortal to get it to work.I am not mad; it just doesn’t make sense not to have the remote control help when people still keep posting for remote control help.So a Quick Link to the Important Hardware like the Remote Control would be helpful.But like you said, you are in the process of re-doing the Documentation and I am sure it will be Good. I DO like this now that I have it up and running.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
