HTPC IR Receiver for Logitech Harmony One Remote

ZXSpectrum · 4 Feb 2011 at 11:34

Does anyone have any recommedations for one of these? I currently use My Harmony One for all my AV stuff and it works very well (Even better after hours of tweaking) but the issues is that i am struggling getting an IR Receiver for my new HTPC that works with the Harmony One... There is no definitive answer on the net and i dont really want to be buying a whole media remote kit just for the IR receiver...

Any ideas?

I would like to know this as well, although I've read the standard MCE Remote receiver works, i just don't know how well.
I’ve got a Antec case with Soundgraph receiver built in, I’ve had no end of trouble to get it working with the Harmony One, I’d be happy if I could just get the remote to pause Windows Media Player…

I use the HP Media Center IR receivers - they also come with an IR repeater if you need it.

They are about £14 from China, and work just great...

I picked up some Windows Media Center remote which included the IR receiver from a local electronic rip off shop, ditched the remove and it works great with all my harmony remotes.

The official microsoft and most of the major bay/integrated receivers are supported (imon etc) and are identified in the software when adding devices.
