[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1147409, member: 141969"] I have the Hama version of this remote, although I prefer to use a One-for-All programmable remote that sends Microsoft MCE RC6 signals. The problem with the Hama remote is that it transmits [i]keyboard shortcuts for Windows Media Center[/i]; it does [b]not[/b] transmit keyboard shortcuts for MediaPortal. Now, some of those keyboard shortcuts are identical between WMC and MP, so those buttons should work; but the remainder will not. I would guess that the effect of enabling the Centarea HID is to translate WMC keyboard shortcuts into MP keyboard shortcuts, so that all buttons on the Hama work as expected. But I would imagine that those keyboard translations would [i]also[/i] affect normal keyboard input. (Windows sees the Hama as a keyboard plus a mouse.) Well, that exhausts my knowledge. :( This needs [USER=140174]@Stéphane Lenclud[/USER] to explain how the Hama remote works with Generic HID! -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
