Where to get the Euro MCE remote (1 Viewer)

Remember Guys the world is getting smaller and literally anyone will post to Europe, but funnily enough they steer clear of Africa. Anyone got a home for Thirty Million, just send me the bank arrangement Fee :lol:

I'm suffering from amnesia and déjà vu at the same time - I think I've forgotten this before

Well, if I do I must have forgotten all about it

I got the European version off of eBay. Yes the 2005 one, from a guy selling them out of England.

Yes, I know one can get them there but I feels kinda silly to have to get the european version from the UK when I'm undoubtedly live in Europe.

Anyways, hopefully this is not a problem anymore since the version that comes with the TV-card should be the right one. I'll get it today so I'll soon know for sure.

Concerning the functions connected to the coloured buttons, is there any way to get them even if I get a remote without the buttons?

To answer this question, you can always download HIP (www.byremote.com.au/hip) and use it to program the keystrokes for those actions into other (existing) buttons on the non-Euro MCE remote - for example, you could assign the keystroke 'x' (to change aspect ratios) to the "Guide" key. The only drawback is remembering which function you've assigned to which key!

Look with the amnesia and deja vu problem, do you think its likely that i would remember what buttons i have programmed to what.
That's why i bought the mce remote

I also spent hour trying to find the european version after having read that it is the best choice for MP. Finally I gave up and went to Webbhallen in Stockholm to get this one:

Imagine my surprice when I opened the box and found the european model despite the misleading image in their online shop.

the buutons can be mapped as follows:

Red = X
Green = H
Yellow = Right Click
Blue = S

If the remote you get has an option to customise configuration then just map the above. If not, then as above you can usually use HIP to remap almost any remote.

Well, good news! The remote I got with the TV-card actually was a Euro-version, allthough not a backlit one. So, I got what I wanted.
