[QUOTE="foxbenw, post: 815649, member: 115475"] Hi A quick update. I didn't get the included remote working straight away and I haven't tried anything else as I don't particularly like it. Out of the box the only buttons that worked were power off, arrow keys and back (although that was the 'clear' button not back.
