[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 383137, member: 14004"] Unfortunately that's because there is no simple answer. :D The generic Microsoft brand MCE remote is what I use - [url=http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1644435&csid=_21]Microsoft Media Center IR Remote and Receiver M17-7900 in Canada at TigerDirect.ca[/url] Plug and Play with MediaPortal - Just plug it in and tick the "use MCE remote" in the configuration menu. If you want to get more advanced and perform actions such as starting MediaPortal with a button, then you are going to still need a third party program to launch the application as far as I know. my HTPC is on MP all the time so I don't have to worry about starting or stopping the application.
