Hi all,

Quick question if anyone knows the answer. The Leadtek DTV1000S cards that I have come with a CoolCommand remote and the PVR2 software has a little remote control wizard app that has an "MCE Remote" setting. I'm assuming that by turning this on it somehow emulates the MCE remote. (there's even an overlay for the remote with all the MCE commands on it, by the looks of it).

Has anyone used this? If so, does it work with MP's built-in MCE remote support, or are there some other particular requirements? I guess I'll test it myself in the next week or so, unless someone has some handy advice that will help me out.

I know there are two different CoolCommand plug-ins, plus and81's IR Server Suite apparently has some "experimental" CoolCommand support - but if the MCE remote thing works straight up, that would be ideal.

Cheers,
Craig
