what remote to buy?

[hamsterstyle]

i have been at this for a whole week:

i bought an MCE remote from http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.ph...cts_id/167 and have been trying to set it up. there are no drivers for it, as it is supposed to be an MCE remote. it is USB. when i plug it in, i can send signals to the receiver from the remote, which triggers a red light on the receiver. however, i have NEVER been able to control ANYTHING with this remote on win2kpro. nothing has ever been opened/closed/altered on my screen from pressing a remote key. obviously, i cant get it to work with GB-PVR. does anyone have any ideas?

if not, does anyone have any suggestions on which remote to buy for my system that will work with GB-PVR? is my remote bunk and should i buy a microsoft MCE remote? does anyone have a streamzap remote? snapstream? anyone have some prefabbed girder commands for a generic remote i can get? help please!


btw i am running win2kpro on an abit kt7a mobo with a PVR-150 as my video input.

The MCE remote is NOT universal, afaik. It only works with XP MCE.

Thats not the case. I know my MCE remote is working fine on Windows XP Pro.

god im an idiot... i keep writing win2kpro when i mean XP pro.

sub - does your system recognize your transceiver as "installed"? mine still has a big fat question mark next to it.

The MCE remote is supported by Media Portal (they even have a nice picture of it in the setup dialog), so it's definitely not limited to MCE itself. The blaster is not (yet) supported.
I'd love to find someone who can tell me if the MCE remote blaster can or will be supported ever.
