[QUOTE="EddieGlitter, post: 473852, member: 88529"] Hi, thanks for the tip. I should have mentioned this. I bought an aftermarket remote. It is meant to work with Media Center, so I thought it would work fine with Media Portal. Infact it does appear to work, but I not sure what the coloured buttons are meant for. Anyway, it seemed that I was getting too many remotes and this confused all the family, especially when you are running a through a music system with a digital top box. So I purchased a Harmony 525. It was a doddle to setup to use for each unit. If you spend a little time, it can be a one button push to turn on the required unit (but they have to be left on stand-by and you must keep the remote pointing at the units until they are all on or off) So yes I would recommend it. On line support was very good, and you can call and update live from the help desk. However the only problem I have is that I can't get it to use the keyboard ESC funtion to get back to the main menu when needed. I haven't given up on this yet, as they must be away to map a button to a keyboard stroke. I'm going to try this forum and the help desk again. The remote can be programmed to copy any remote, but I need to make sure the I know which button to copy. I let you know how I go. [/QUOTE]
