Media Centre remote

[Deleted member 70857]

Hi, i am looking for a remote control to use with Media Centre inside of Vista.

I think the official Microsoft Remote would be best but I can not find it anywhere

If there is a better remote out there please let me know.

Google "SPEEDLINK SL-6399 Media Centre Remote Control". Its as good as the official remote and only £10 delivered.

Why not buy a logitech universal remote. 60 quid. 3 times more expensive than the standard MS media centre remote.

But then, you do get to use it with practically EVERY device that needs a remote control. DVD player, TV, Sky Box, Virgin Media Box, Hi Fi, Laptop, Lights, Curtains, Fans, if its infra red, you can control it.

I have the official microsoft one and it's good, though if you can afford a logitech harmony of some sort i'd recommend that instead, as above, it can do all that and more.

As far as I'm aware, I think they've stopped making them. I know there's an appoved replacement that I think is made by Philips, but I've not tried any of the others.

There's a fair few companies selling it. Just google
Microsoft Remote Control and USB Receiver
