[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 213251, member: 11550"] here's a link for the remote that may help. You'll want to buy from the UK but this will show what you need: [url]http://www.techflare.com.au/sales.asp?item=2393&cat=14&subcat=166[/url] bear in mind this is the US version. The UK version has four extra buttons at the bottom (red/blue/green and yellow) and these extras are must have's. Glad to hear MP works well for you now. The TV card shouldn't slow things down depending on what you are looking for. Recording Digital TV should be fine, but recording analog TV places a huge strain on the PC as the CPU has to do real time conversion to MPeg or DivX or whatever format you choose. You can get analog cards that have hardware builot in for this, but I don't think USB models have this feature. Remember too that TV will take about 2-3Gb er hour, so 30Gb wont last you too long. Cheers, Marcus. [/QUOTE]
