    Idealy you should only need a remote in which the MCE2005 remote w/ the teletext buttons is probably the best.

    If you need to type then a MCE2005 keyboard probably wouldnt hurt but mice arent greatly used on htpc so unless you really need one (for programs outside MP) then I wouldnt bother. I havent seen a generally recommended one as not of lot of people have them (or one model in particular).

    Yeah, you really only need the MCE Remote, as it can do everything within Media Portal. We also have the MCE Keyboard for normal Windows use, like iTunes and web browsing.

    MCE 2005 keyboard not working!!

    My remote is working fine but the letters and numbers on my MCE Keyboard wont work at all!
    does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix, would be handy for email, have a wired keyboard at the moment which defeats the purpose of the media centre.

    Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

    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...

    I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse.
