Remote control for a pc?

[ivrytwr3]

I have a pc hooked up to my lcd tv in my bedroom. I use the lcd to watch movies on whilst in bed.

However, it is a pain to have to get up and adjust volume etc when i', all snuggly in bed.

Is there a remote control for the pc that can adjust media settings? (also, i use several different media players, so would need to be able to either adjust each program or the pc media settings theirselves).

Having never used a remote, are these any good? They seem very cheap!!

All i really need it to do is turn the volume up and down when using windows media player or power dvd.

Thanks for your help all.

Yes they are super cheap, can't see the 2nd one, the page just stays on loading constantly. The 1st one, which I have, works fine. Not all functions work, but the ones that matter do. Media control functions, play, stop, volume, pause etc. Mouse control works fine, cursor arrows work fine in Media Centre. Power off is also handy. Pretty good considering Microsoft's own remote sells for around £20, and that to my knowledge, has no mouse control function.

Mmmm, second link works for me!

Anywayz, you say it works in Media centre, but i very rarely use media centre. I use media player and/or powerdvd.

Will your remote work with these do you know?
