[QUOTE="Michael Walsh, post: 1017562, member: 143109"] Many thanks to Holzi and Arturas1976 for making suggestions, but I still cannot get this to work ... and, as mentioned above, the remote control was not the only issue anyway ... I've even had to kill MediaPortal from the Task Manager (where it has had a status of "not responding" on more than one occasion). I really think that the descriptions of MediaPortal show it to have a huge range of features produced by dedicated folks ... but I have spent hours and hours trying to get it to work on a PC where Microsoft Media Center has been running for months (slow ... but quite stable). Surely it should be a simple matter for someone to write some sort of migration utility? What many people are looking for is something simple ... and not something with 1000s of options. We turned to HTPC because we are sick of having different devices for sat receiver, recorder, blu-ray player, CD Player and the accompanying half-dozen remotes! So ... if there is any working group within MediaPortal that is working on a migration utility from Media Center, then I will gladly make a donation to the cause ... but for the moment it is back to Media Center for us!
