[QUOTE="etnpnys, post: 33561, member: 17966"] I am currently building a HTPC and I think I'll be going with this software. I read the post about all the promising features of Media Portal, but one point that he forgot to add to the cost factor is that not only is Media Portal FREE, but you don't need to pony up the bucks to have Windows XP Media Center or even Pro - you can use Home Edition... That's awesome... Anyway, I am definitely going to need a remote. I program custom remote controls almost daily at my job (installing home theaters, etc.) and I am only going to need the simple functions of a remote: play, stop, pause, all the arrows and enter/back for navigation. That's it. But I currently don't even have the ability to shoot IR codes at my PC. I need a receiver also. Now, I know that Media Portal has the ability to work with a lot of remotes, but I don't have PC programming experience to tweak with the code to get it working. What is a reliable remote/IR receiver combination that I can get my hands on for pretty cheap?? Media Center remotes and IR receivers at their cheapest are $35-$40. Anything cheaper than this that works well? [/QUOTE]
