[QUOTE="youngm, post: 311142, member: 83122"] Hi all, Newcomer here :) I'm in the process of building my first HTPC based on the following components: ASUS M3N78 PRO 8300 Motherboard 2G DDR2-800 Kingston (2 x 1GB kit) RAM AMD AM2 X2 4850E Low Power CPU Thermaltake 430W PSU WD 500BG SATA II HDD AverMedia DVB-T TV + Radio Card (A761) Linksys Wireless-N PCI-E Card I've installed Windows XP 2005 MCE on it, however, I prefer MediaPortal ;) Just a quick question - are those cheap chinese EBay Windows MCE style remote controls (with USB receiver dongle) compatible with MediaPortal? I'm really happy with my setup, however, I want to be able to control it remotely reliably. Advice appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
