[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1183234, member: 141969"] Since the beginning of 2016, I have been using the Ortek/Hama IR receiver. For most of that time I have also used the Ortek/Hama remote, so that I could develop and test the MP config for it, and the AutoHotKey script. But since that is not a universal remote, I had to use a second remote to control the volume on my Sony amp. I eventually got fed up with that. :sick: For the past few weeks I have been using my One-for-All Xsight Colour remote (I had loaded the Ortek/Hama definitions into it some months ago as a test). It is my second most-capable remote (my worn-out MX850 comes first), but I really dislike the buttons on the Xsight Colour -- most of the buttons are small and nearly flush with the casing, making them difficult to press. :( There is at least one MP user who really likes the Xsight Colour (or the similar Xsight Touch), so I suppose that it could be called a "Marmite" remote (I think the equivalent in your part of the world would be a "Vegemite" remote) -- you either love it or loath it. I tend towards the latter. So I feel a change of remote approaching... :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
