Remotes and TV cards (1 Viewer)

[Xeyedsheep]

Hi,

First post. I only started looking into this whole HTPC thing this week as a result of my kids TV dieing of old age. Anyway, there's a PC is in the same room so I figured it would be easier to get a TV card and the whole thing has spiraled out of control

Anyway, some surfing has brought me here and I have a question regarding remote control. I've bought a Hauppauge 878 TV card on ebay as it's on the compatability list, it comes with a Hauppauge remote btw. I was wondering about getting an MCE remote control, do I have to make sure and get a remote receiver that's compatable with whatever remote I get to plug into the card or are the receivers which come with the cards and various MCE remotes all compatable?

MCE remote comes with its own USB receiver, You don't have to connect it to the TV card. MCE remote is natively supported by MP.
