Hello,
I've been using MP 1.x (now 1.3) for a few months and like it overall. I've been using my keyboard and mouse but would like to switch to a decent remote. I'm a total n00b and have tried to find decent remotes that would match with the MP Config Tool, remotes such as an MCE one, Sceneo, X10, Hauppauge, and IRTrans. I have also tried to make sense of IRSS and EventGhost and things like that. None really seem friendly for a total idiot like myself.
Really, what is best is something with power (can wake HTPC from sleep and power it complete on, if needed), IR vs. RF (??), change channels/volume/info/etc., doesn't cost a lot (trying to stay under $50).
I'm thinking about one of these:
Rosewill RRC 126
FIRST CHOICE
Rosewill RHRC-11001
SECOND CHOICE
Media Gate Windows Vista MCE Remote
THIRD CHOICE
I don't really have a preference, as I said, I'm a total idiot and really just want to get away from having to use my keyboard and mouse every time I want to use MP v1.3.
Any comments? Thanks!
