[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7647"] In the course of building my MediaPortal HTPC I'm now in the process of playing with remote controls. Thus far I've experimented with the iMON 'RSC' unit and a X-10 8-in-1 Universal Remote. While both appear to work well enough it seems to me that there might be an even better solution. I'm curious if anyone has given any thought to developing an 'interactive, context-sensitive remote'. Such a device would almost have to be constructed around a PDA or some similar programmable device. As I see the thing it would work in conjunction with a MediaPortal plugin and the USBUIRT. Starting at the home menu, the device would have a fairly simply input set; basically up, down and execute. When a MP function such as TV is selected, the remote sends the commands to MP, MP selects the function and MP then responds with a context command output using the USBUIRT. This command would be received by the IR receiver in the remote and the touch screen would change to include buttons suitable for the active MP function. The idea is that the remote and MP work in conjunction with each other allowing the remote user interface to remain simple at all stages of the interaction. [/QUOTE]
