[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 971475, member: 76888"] I'd recommend an MCE compatible/cone IR receiver + remote combo. It's safer to buy a receiver with an included remote, if the logitech profile doesn't work you can also make it learn the channels from the remote that came with the receiver. I'm fairly sure that most PC/MCE remotes are all RC-6 so you shoudn't have to worry about accidently buying an RC-4 remote. Something like this should be fine [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Microsoft-Media-Center-MCE-Black-Remote-Control-and-Philips-Receiver-/220918804886?pt=US_Remote_Controls_Pointers&hash=item336fc97196[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-MCE-Remote-Control-USB-IR-Receiver-Win7-Vista-/220626246615?pt=US_Remote_Controls_Pointers&hash=item335e595bd7[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-MCE-USB-Infrared-Receiver-Emitter-Wire-Dell-Remote-/220702079023?pt=US_Remote_Controls_Pointers&hash=item3362de782f[/url] I personally have the same HP branded MCE clone receiver that is in the last link, the receiver is also an IR blaster, my remote control is different to the one pictured but it shouldn't matter.
