I don't use XBMC linux, but it looks like you can use a Wiimote! I use a Logitech Harmony 550 remote for my Myth box which uses a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 (which came with a remote and IR receiver.) The remote that came with the Hauppauge card worked well, but the Harmony remote was a lot less responsive, despite spending two hours tweaking the remote's parameters. Also, I think the Harmony remotes are Windows-only for configuration, but I could be mistaken. They are a "learning" remote, but that only helps if you're trying to replace a remote already... Anyway, I'd look into the Wiimote, or a small portable keyboard and/or mouse if you don't have an easily accessible infra-red port, but your mileage may vary. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
