[QUOTE="doveman, post: 915810, member: 67412"] As it seems impossible to direct the D-pad to only MP, what I've done instead is disable the Keyboard plugin in EventGhost (which traps the directional and Enter keys on my actual keyboard as well, making them not work in anything else) and used the Find Window and Bring Windows to Front functions in EG assigned to certain keys (Guide, MCE/Home), so that pressing them gives MP focus. It's a bit of a cludge that isn't exactly user-friendly ("Why can't I navigate the menu/EPG?" "Oh, you have to press Guide or the big button once first") but it seems that's the only workaround unfortunately. The Hauppauge remote works better in this respect as all the keys are directed to MP, whether it has focus or not but I wanted to move to an RF rather than IR remote, partly so that I don't have to have an ugly IR sensor stuck to the front of my TV and also because I've replaced the Nova-T with a USB tuner, so couldn't use the Hauppauge remote anymore anyway. The Emprex remote does look a lot nicer too ;) Do all MCE remotes have this problem, i.e. that the D-Pad and OK buttons present as the directional keys and Enter to Windows rather than unique keycodes that can be trapped just by MP or EG?
