I've been using GBPVR for some time now and LOVE IT LOVE IT. The problem I have is that the IR receiver for my Hauppauge remote is busted. Also, upon further inspection, the jack for the IR receiver/blaster is damaged(probably from being moved with being unplugged). I'm in a spot now where I need a new remote control for the PC. I'd like it to control the television and receiver as well(both IR devices), but I'd like the PC control to be RF if possible. Line of sight can reduce the WAF. I'm using a Windows XP Pro machine(not media center), but my understanding is that some of these remotes are compatible with both. What is the best remote suited for my application? I've looked at the Logitech Harmony series but I'm not sure if they're RF or not, or if they come with a USB receiver as they're supposed to be MCE remote replacements. I've also looked at those Gyration remotes but I currently use a mouse and a keyboard on the couch and I didn't know if the Gyration remote would bounce the cursor around if it was sitting on the couch or what-not, and also it only advertises as compatible with MCE. Any input? I KNOW one of you knows the perfect solution
