[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1233143, member: 74879"] Hello Paul, RC6 receivers and the respective MCE-compatible remotes are working out of the box in MP2. Therefore I would rather suspect that either the receiver or the remote is broken. You could check if the remote is actually sending IR signals by using a digital camera (or your mobile phone) to video-picture the IR-diode on the top of the remote while pressing a key. You should then be able to see the diode flashing. If the remote is working, then you can check the general Windows functionality: open an editor, type a few characters of text and then press the arrow-left button on the remote. The cursor should move back. If it doesn't then the IR receiver is not correctly working. This could both be a hardware problem as well as something in Windows/BIOS settings. [/QUOTE]
