[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 557038, member: 75254"] Hi glen, I use the DTV1000s card and remote as well, but I've never been able to get the launcher thing working properly. A better option I found was a little system tray utility (WF_RemCtrl) that lets you map any of the remote control keys to Windows keys/commands. You can download it from here: [URL="http://users.cjb.net/bytencoder/wf_remctrl.html"]http://users.cjb.net/bytencoder/wf_remctrl.html[/URL]. When MediaPortal is not running, I just have the coloured keys on the remote mapped to launch various applications (blue=MediaPortal, red=PowerDVD). I also have the various keys mapped to PowerDVD shortcuts for when PowerDVD is running so that I can pause/play/skip, etc. It works a treat! I never use the "big green button" on the Leadtek remote, cause it just causes me problems (sometimes starts the launcher, sometimes WinPVR, etc.). Could be the WinPVR version I'm using, but the little WF_RemCtrl is far more flexible in terms of what you can do, so I control everything through there. Of course Seba's gem of a plug-in within MediaPortal works like a charm. Cheers, Craig [/QUOTE]
