[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 878568, member: 82144"] Hi MkRacer220 So if I've understood correctly, you want the TV Server with the WinTV card in one room and you want to use the associated remote with a client in the bedroom. What kind of remote is it? Is it one that has a separate USB dongle receiver, or does it have an IR receiver that is connected directly to the tuner? If the first option, it should be possible to install Hauppauge's IR32 software on the client and plug the USB dongle in there. Maybe it is even an MC compatible remote. Having said that, then you'd have no remote to work with the server in the family room. If it is the second option then you would need some kind of IR extender kit to pick up signals in the client room and send them to the receiver which would have to stay connected to the tuner in the server. It may be a better (ie. cheaper, more future proof, easier) option to buy a MC remote with two receivers, connect one receiver to each machine, and carry the remote with you when you go to the bedroom. Or buy two remotes if it is more convenient and you have the budget. mm [/QUOTE]
