There's already HEAPS of posts about this. Do a search of the forums and you'll find that the usual answer is to get a Microsoft MCE remote.

MP1 MP2 1.37 Running Mediaportal in a Linux distro......say Zorin OS...? DE

I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that. MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.
