[QUOTE="NickName, post: 135128, member: 21675"] Hi Coopers, Sorry but I agree with paloema. Just buy an MCE remote as it can be trained to support two other devices. However, if you setup MP correctly, you won't need many/any external devices. I love the way you just plug them in and they work, no mucking about with training it to use MP. Also if you build another MP box you can just get another MCE remote. You are not tied to one brand of tuner because of the supplied remote. FYI.
