[QUOTE="PhilUK, post: 655310, member: 103404"] Having had this remote for about 6 months now i've also still got this problem, when Windows Media Centre is disabled in services, the green button does not launch MP/switch to home... However, if Media Centre is allowed to run then the green button works to switch MP to the home screen but then 5 seconds later windows media centre will load over the top as expected. Weird behaviour i know! I tried using IRSS to route the signal to open MP but I found it incredibly complicated so gave up. In the end all I did was map the S2 button on the remote (used to open bookmarks in browser) to home and that seems to work fine. Unfortunately, i haven't been able to disable the effects of the other 'S' buttons (opening browser, opening itunes and something else) so that I can use them in MP. If anyone has any info about how to that i would appreciate it! P.S.
