Quest88 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Hi! Just want to do a quick poll on this to see how popular is a remote control. Keyboard with mouse is a standard PC setup. Keyboard without mouse is more like a special keyboard which can be used solo (e.g. with trackball included, etc) I just bought a remote actually, just because I'm so used to dvdp. It's the remote for MCE 2005 and I manage to get it working with normal XP. Wondering if other people enjoy this sort of flexibility? Or do you think a keyboard is a must for HTPC?

I am looking for a remote control too,could you tell me what you bought and where to buy & how much.Thanks
louco73 Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I think you need another option. I use a keyboard with the built in mouse and a remote that came with my PVR-150. I use the keyboard a lot a the moment as I'm setting up, but I'll probably use the remote more once things are stable.
