[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1156637, member: 141969"] For an MCE-compatible remote to work with MP1 "straight out of the box", I would suggest that it needs to satisfy these requirements: (1) It needs to be an RC6 remote that is stated as being "MCE (or WMC) compatible" The "RC6" requirement eliminates the Ortek VRC-1100 remote (and its clones), the Emprex RF remote, and others. (2) The remote needs to be sold with its own IR receiver. This requirement eliminates HTPC cases and motherboards that have the IR receiver built-in. (3) The IR receiver needs to plug into a USB socket on the motherboard. This requirement eliminates IR receivers that plug into the tuner card (such as the IR receivers and remotes included with Hauppauge and TBS tuner cards). I am not claiming that it is impossible to get working all of the remotes and receivers that fail the above requirements, but I do think that it is more difficult, and best left to those individuals who "like a challenge". I use this remote: [URL]http://www.oneforall.co.uk/urc7140-essence-4.html[/URL] with a Dell-branded version of this IR receiver: [URL]http://www.cohaus-berlin.de/shop/RC6-Infrared-Receiver/Philips-RC6-Infrared-Receiver-Model-OVU411000::11.html[/URL] You will notice that I have violated one of my own three requirements, by using an IR receiver that was not sold with the remote. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
