[QUOTE="squidina, post: 42050, member: 14227"] I have a similar setup to winsys. I have the MS remote with it's IR receiver and bud pointed at the cable box, using XP. I don't remember having to install anything to get it to work apart from the blaster plugin for MP. I could be wrong though, it was a while ago. :D Your best bet to pick up a MS remote is to plug it into staticice ( or follow this link: [url]http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=mce+remote+control[/url] ). You should be able to find a dealer in Melbourne who'd sell it to you, or you can buy online and get it posted/couriered. It should come with the controller and receiver, but better to check when you put your order in. They're really simple to setup. One end goes into a USB port on your machine, the "bud" gets stuck onto your cable box receiver. One tip, make sure you don't have the bud covering the receiver completely. Best bet is to try out different positions to make sure your cable rc will still work as well. [/QUOTE]
