[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1215694, member: 109222"] Hi. This depends on the receiver plugged into the USB port of your PC. As long as it is a "RC6" receiver it is a "real" MCE remote. Most of the available HID remotes are using receivers not supporting the (full) RC6 protocol. As Example the AirMouse receiver from Gyration is a RF (most likely 2.4 GHz) receiver but all RC6 (aka MCE) receiver always are infrared receiver. The Gyration receiver is not working the same way as the Microsoft Receiver and for this it can not work with apps designed to use Microsoft receivers... This did not mean all IR receivers are compatible: Especially on cheap IR devices the receiver is most likely supporting only a subset of the needed commands. So a compatible receiver explicitly needs to be labeled as "RC6" receiver. If you want to use your RF receiver you need to use it like a keyboard/mouse input and configure the functions inside the plugin "Input Device Manager" that is available here in the forum. [/QUOTE]
