[QUOTE="customized, post: 428019, member: 91565"] I use this Antec IR receiver with the harmony remote: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999190]Newegg.com - Antec Mult-Station EZ External IR receiver and remote - Case Accessories[/url] It allows mapping of buttons to keystrokes. The short story on the setup is that you tell your PC in the receiver software that you're using a Windows Media Center remote, and you setup a the harmony to act as one. Then you can map the "My Video" or "My TV" button on the remote do something either in Media Portal, or your OS. The software that runs on the PC (it won't function without the USB receiver plugged in, but you can check it out here [url]http://www.antec.com/download/iMON_7_40_0806_ANTEC.zip[/url]) allows one "quick launch" program that will start up with a press of a button. I chose MP of course! So I setup the receiver so that when I hit the "My Videos" button it launches MP. And I put the button in the LCD window custom button area and called it Media Portal to keep the woman of the house happy! Hope this helps, you might have something similar on your receiver software.
