It should work but I'm unaware of anybody using that particular model. It will also work with reduced functionality as it does not have the 4 colored buttons, each of which play an important role within MP (Toggle fullscreen/preview of media, Home, Context Menu and Aspect Ratio).

I would recommend against purchasing that remote.

Hi, I'm using an MCE remote without the 4 color buttons right now, but Iwould like to buy a new one with them. Any idea where I can find one? (pcalchemy only has without 4 colors)

Normally they are easy to get on ebay.co.uk and the sellers are wise to the fact that the better model are harder to obtain overseas, most are happy to ship to anywhere, but for some reason they are in very short supply at the moment. Either M$ are tightening up, a new model is on the way or ??? but for a good 6 - 8 weeks they have been few and far between.

The above applies to retailers also. I've got my fingers crossed that there's a new model on its way *but* this is nothing more than wishful thinking/speculation.

Isn't this normal? I mean perhaps you should first do some config before you can start using mediaportal?

I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse. I tired to design things mouse friendly as much as possible, because it was almost impossible when I joined the team. As former WMC user I quickly decided to create a WMC-like skin which comes as close as possible in terms of appearance and...

MP1 MP2 Odd Standby issue DE
Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:

I guess from this, that the mapping steps basically work. Please try to map some of the keys you mention to be not working and upload the log files afterwards. Maybe @Brownard can see something and a solution can be found. Please open a thread in the OnlineVideo section for this, we should not mix 2 topics in one thread.
