Remote for Media Center

Rythonn · 11-02-2009, 10:26 AM

Can anyone recommend a good remote for Windows 7 Media Center box. I don't need a tuner or card. I have an old box that I plan to just play movies from with Windows 7 Media Center. I went through the ones on newegg but figured I would come here first and see if any of you have any experience with them.

If you are running XBMC you can use an iPhone or a Blackberry as a remote which is nice if you have one of those two devices.

I'll check out the one I have at home. It's been great with Windows Media Center and XBMC. I want to say it was only like 30 bucks too.

Yeah, mine is an MCE remote (silver). Had it for about 2 years and it works like a champ with Vista 64bit and Windows 7. It was a bit funky on XP, but you're doing it wrong if your media center PC is running XP. =)

There's a link of the one I have.
