[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1148211, member: 141969"] The older I get, the more I realise that I am turning into my late father. He never discarded anything until it was worn out. So, not only do I understand your desire to use your Hauppauge remote control, I am in sympathy with it, since I would want to do the same. (y) However, I also subscribe to the "life is too short" argument, as in: "life is too short to spend weeks or months trying to get a Hauppauge remote to work, when you could instead buy a suitable remote and receiver combination, plug it in, and have it work immediately with MP 1.12". The following remote and receiver combination are known to work: [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Remote-Control-Receiver-Emitter-Vista/dp/B00AYE6JDO[/URL] Whatever you do, [B]do not[/B] buy the following remote and receiver combination (it is sold under various brand names -- Ortek, Addesso, Gmyle, Hama, Sanoxy -- but they all look the same): [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Windows-Control-Infrared-Receiver-Ultimate/dp/B003ZV3J72[/URL] I use the following IR receiver (mine is Dell branded, but is identical to this Philips unit); works OK, but is definitely a candidate for "the ugliest IR receiver ever manufactured": [URL]http://www.cohaus-berlin.de/shop/RC6-Infrared-Receiver/Philips-RC6-Infrared-Receiver-Model-OVU411000::11.html[/URL] The following "One-for-All" remote is strongly favoured by the experts on [URL]http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/index.php[/URL], and has the advantage that it supports multiple devices and is user programmable using an open-source software called "RMIR" (downloadable from hifi-remote.com).
