Media Centre universal remote control?

[Jed Shields]

Hi guys,

I'm just about to build my HTPC for my living room and need to look for a good Media Centre remote. Are there any universal remotes with this function? Any recomendations?

Altenatively, I can keep my Philps Pronto and program in the codes. If I did that, where could I find the necessary codes?

Cheers,

Jed.

Any reasons why you wouldn't consider the bog standard Microsoft MCE remote?

Does most things you could need, turns your tv on and off, controls volume etc.

Although if you want a overall better remote start looking at the Logitech Harmony remotes.

I've got the following that I need to program:

Cyrus CD, DAC-XP, Panasonic 42" TV, Virgin V+, dimmer switch

I'm assuming I can't program these into the bog standard ones.

I'll take a look at the Logitech ones.
