What happens if you have two MP clients with an RF remote in the house?

Then everyone is watching, what you are

That 10 metre range can be a bit of a downer in smaller sized properties

I got this one from Amazon.com and it works great. Used LM Remote Key Map to do a few custom additional features and then transferred it over to my Harmony One. Took some playing around with but at the end it worked great. And for $16 shipped you cant beat it.

Amazon.com: Windows 7 Vista XP Media Center MCE PC Remote Control and Infrared Receiver for Home, Premium and Ultimate Edition: Electronics

That's the MCE controller I'm using! Care to share any tips on how you managed to get it working with MP?

Thanks!

Why not use a RF remote like the one we are using here: CONCEPTRONIC CLLRCMCE MCE REMOTE CONTROL

Works great I use it with Eventghost to push the commands to MP

How did you get it to work?

Not sure how many blasters provided, but at least one.

Do you know if this remote works with Win XP?

I had been using the Sunwave SMR remote and recently changed to this one. works great and all functions work out of the box.

Cheers

I use x-sight touch (google it) with intelliremote application, takes a bit of setting up but once done is in my opinion an excellent combination, highly configurable, you will obviosuly need an IR reciever for the pc which is seprate purchase from the xsight touch.

I have Logitech Harmony 300i and bought Windows XP compliant RC6 receiver from "AEOne" who is a member of this board.

Setting up Logitech 300i as MCE was easy over web. I also did couple of small changes on key mappings in MP according to my taste

This combinaton perfectly works for me and it does what I expect.
