[QUOTE="scoop, post: 33567, member: 10498"] Hi, As for the MCE remote, it won't work out of the box with XP Home Edition. Some people however got it to work by copying off files from a XP Pro SP2 install. Other people have failed to so, though. Maybe there are cheaper remotes around, but IMHO the MCE remote is quite cheap already and works almost immediately in MP. You can even go the DYI route and use an old remote via WinLIRC/Girder, but IMHO that's way too much hassle compared to the MCE remote. And, building a IR receiver yourself probably will also cost around $15 or so. I've taken this path for learning & fun, but I would have been better off buying the MCE remote right from the start. ;) Kind regards, Michel [/QUOTE]
