[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 500951, member: 84335"] "MCE Remote" is just the type of remote. They are not necessarily made by microsoft. A number of manufacturers make them, HP, Rock, Hauppage (lots more). Look for a "vista certified" version. If you want to control more than one device (ie amp AND HTPC + whatever else, tv, etc) then consider a [URL="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/remotes/universal_remotes/&cl=us,en"]Logitech Harmony[/URL] remote. This will emulate an MCE remote and also emulate any other remotes (ie your amp) for devices you want to control. It has a nice macro feature, so at the press of a button, it will switch on your HTPC, TV, AMP and switch your TV and AMP to the correct channels so everything's ready to use. (much easier than juggling remotes for each device) [/QUOTE]
