Universal remote question..

[ferret face]

Does anyone know if a universal remote (Logitech 525 for example) will work with my HTPC?

I have a keysonic wireless keyboard coming and wondered if I could set up a remote to control Theatretek for watching movies etc.

It would be great if I can use 1 remote to control everything in my home cinema!

Cheers

Should work with anything IR - ie everything apart from PS3 which is annoying! I have the same remote and it works with everything I have, even XBMC

Ahhh...

I just noticed that the keysonic is wireless so I guess there isn't then?

Unless someone knows a remote that will control both wireless and IR??

Just wondered...

can you buy a USB dongle for the Logitech 525 so it will also control media centre on a pc?

Has anyone got one working and if so can you use the USB stick that comes with it?

I think, you can do it with the official ms media remote dongle, been looking into this myself, dont think there is an alternative unfortunately
