[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1136112, member: 141969"] I have never used a genuine Microsoft remote control, so the following is based on what I have read elsewhere... I believe that some versions of the Microsoft remote can learn a few IR codes to control the TV set, in particular power toggle and volume up/down. If your remote is [i]not[/i] new, is it possible that the volume control has been set to control someone else's TV set, and not the HTPC? As a precedent, I will mention a remote that I [i]do[/i] have in my collection -- the Origenae RC197. It has [i]two[/i] power buttons (one for the HTPC, and another for the TV), and can learn the IR signals to control the power toggle and volume up/down signals of the TV (but not, curiously, the mute function of the TV, so the mute button always controls the HTPC). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
