If it's only to control MP go for something like this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-000524...=UTF8&qid=1392303612&sr=1-1&keywords=hama+mce

I may be off my game, but I tried that one and it really really sucked...[DOUBLEPOST=1392309873][/DOUBLEPOST]

i got my Logitec 300 för about £20-25.. but the 900 with RF I think I what you are listing.

and oh.. then you also must get an IR reciver separatly... :/

This is the one I initially spotted
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Harmony-Remote-Control-915-000143/dp/B003IZFCFW

That sux, it seem not to be sold anymore

I've spent many, many hours trying to get Logitech's Harmony remote to have the same precision that "real" MCE has, without success. Yes it works, bit it does not work as well, and if you had a MCE, then having a Harmony is a downer....

@emphatic - You're Swede, so why not get this beauty (have it - love - but kid broke it - gonna get a new one):

Dustin Home is Sweden doesn't have it in stock. Also, I prefer the one I have now as I know it better than my own pocket after years of (ab)use.

That must be it, I tried to use it as a native MCE remote - and it was aweful configured like that.

yea try the plugin if you still have it, works great.

Might either of the Maplins offerings I referred to earlier suffice??

I would not recommend the Maplins £14.99 remote control. It is actually made by Ortek, but is also sold under various other brand names (Adesso, Gmyle, Hama, Sanoxy; I have the Hama-branded one).

The problem with this remote control is that the INFO button does not work correctly. If you search the internet for "Ortek", you will find many threads on the XBMC forum about this remote.

You would probably be better off with a One-for-All remote. Most (but not all) have the MCE codes built-in, so you simply set device code 1272 and you are done. Models to consider would be the 7140, 7950, or 7960 (I have all of those). For something more expensive, you could consider the One-for-All Xsight Lite or Xsight Colour (I have both of those, too).
