[QUOTE="Cook, post: 699776, member: 108931"] Hi All- I just built a new HTPC and picked up a new LCD TV and AV receiver (I have been saving up for a while!). So now I am looking for an all-in-one solution as far as wireless keyboard and remote FOR ALL COMPONENTS. Here is what I am thinking: 1) Due to needing a range of 15-20 ft, I would like to go with an RF (not IR) keyboard and remote bundle. 2) I would like a single USB dongle (RF receiver) that works well with Windows 7 and MePo for the keyboard/remote. 3) The remote would also need IR capability to control my other components: cable box, receiver, and TV. 4) Ideally, the remote could "learn" from the original remotes and also have some macro functions if possible. In reading my points above, I find it weird that a typical IR keyboard only seems to work to about 5 feet away, but the standard IR remotes that come with TVs and receivers work from 30+ feet away. Why is that??? Anyway, is there a package out there that would cover these needs? Is there a better way of accomplishing these things? Am I not thinking this through properly? Any input/feedback would be great! :thx: Cook [/QUOTE]
