I use the big Firefly and love it.

It's actually an X10 remote so it can be config'ed as Other X10 remote so you don't have to load the BeyondTV thing to use the remote.

Check out my post on page 2 of this thread for how I have mine set up.

    has anyone purchased from http://cgi.ebay.com/Windows-Media-Ce...QQcmdZViewItem seller? Has anyone seen it cheaper (I am in the US)

    No, that is cheap for the EUROPEAN remote posted to the states, Did buy my DELL|Philips (Same but no TV power Button and only 1 emitter) for £23.50 delivered uk. (Have original mce remote as well, but that cost a bit more 18 months ago)

    I've got a Harmony 880, but we never use it, opting instead for a wireless keyboard. We use both the TV and a 19" LCD, usually at the same time, so the computer is busy piping TV, movies, or music to the TV while I or my wife is using the LCD to check email, recipes, or surf.

    Hi revs

    A quick Google doesn't throw up any UK retailers yet (or in fact any retailers).

    There is a press release on their website which shows they were only announced about a month ago at CES:

    http://www.remotecontrol.philips.com/index.cfm?id=1370

    This does also suggest that some of them will be sold as OEM (although the Microsoft MCE remote is sold OEM and not too hard to get).

    For one of the models an availabilty of "first quarter 2007" is given (but there is no indication if that will include the UK).

    Just those I attached. I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!! So, with some flak from the family, I had to give in.

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
