[QUOTE="superman859, post: 477563, member: 95844"] Thanks for the advice. I may look for it or contact them - it was a pain to deal with. I would install the software, and when first launched it I could click add / delete buttons for the remote and could add some iMon remotes (although there was no PAD option, just EX and a couple others, or generic RC). I would switch to it and everything would seem fine until I restarted the computer / program / anything related to it. After restart, it ALWAYS showed MCE as the remote and the only button was 'refresh'. No way to change it without uninstalling and reinstalling the software, to repeat the whole process. For now I just ended up playing with the MCE remote settings in iMon manager and harmony software until I got something that seems to work out. It seems there are more options such as 'exit' and things like that on imon controllers than MCE (thus matching the harmony 550 better), but I just used the red, green, blue, and yellow keys to map those as needed - it just doesn't make as much sense as mapping exit to 'exit' or something similar. But, it works well enough to use now at least. However, if I come across more functions that I need, I'm out of colored keys to map with so I'm not sure what I will use - I also have to avoid certain key mappings such as 'media center' since certain ones turn the xbox on as well. Oh well - thanks for the help! If I need to switch the remote control type, I will try to find out why the software won't let me change the remote. [/QUOTE]
