I've recently bought the compro t-200, and found the software that came with it quite shoddy (the EPG was rubbish), so I looked at MP and was amazed. However, not being able to use my remote with it was fustrating. After searching these forums, I found that it isn't possible unless I buy some more hardware, which i didn't want to do.
I then went searching on the internet for an answer, and found one. I found this programme called HIP (human interface programmer), and also a patch for it that allows for the t-200 remote buttons to be assigned to key-presses! The best thing is that it doesn't cost a penny!
The HIP software and patch can be found at www.byremote.com.au
or if you want the download files directly,:
HIP: http://www.byremote.com.au/downloads/HipInstallComplete_1112.EXE
Compro remote interface: http://www.byremote.com.au/downloads/Compro2HIP_.zip
Once installed, run HIP and it will appear in the sys tray. rigt click and click on configure. Then click 'file', then 'preferences'. On the new window, select the 'alternate input' tab, then select the 'generic interface' from the list. If you want to add a system-wide command (eg. if you set the play/pause button on the remote to be space bar, then when you press the play/pause' button the space bar is sent to the active application, and not necessarily MP), then click 'add', and follow the instructions.
If you want to make sure that the remote's keypresses are sent only to MP (far more useful), then click OK, then on the main window click on the icon to the right of 'Program 1', and find MP, then click OK. On the main window, make sure that the radio button next to 'Program 1' is selected. Then in the large box beneath all of the programs, click on 'add', and follow the instructions.

If anyone has any problems, or if you want my configuration file (holds all the shortcut keys I have assigned so far) then feel free to ask.
If this has already been covered somewhere else, then sorry. but i have searched the forums for it and couldn't find it. Also, if this is the wronf forum then sorry, but i'm not quite suer where to put it as this is my first post
