Yepp, the very first dual-sided controller designed specifically for XBMC!
It truly works out of the box!
No driver install nor special software needed!
It's Plug & play!
The remote communicates with your HTPC using its USB RF Receiver
but can also act as a universal remote control thanks to its built-in programmable IR!
As of today, this remote will run on Windows, Mac, AppleTV (First gen) and Linux.

!!! WANT !!!

Anyone have it / Opinions ? Out of stock in the UK till the New Year :mad:

Has someone get a Philips Prestigo working?

I have SRT8215/10 and I can't get it to work under Linux (my living room XBMC Live) and under Windows (working room).

I bought this IRC6 receiver:
http://www.cohaus-berlin.de/shop/RC6-Inf...6Q::1.html

Under Windows 7 it registers as a Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver.

But there is no MCE Keyboard profile in the Prestigo program and when I select "Computer, Media Center -> Microsoft" it asks for a remote control from which it can copy the information. I don't have an other remote where I could copy the information.

In other threads some user said that there have managed to get the Prestigo working but not how they did it. I would need this information rather quick because when I can't get the Prestigo working (I like the design more then the design of a Harmony) then I have to sent it back to Amazon and get a Harmony. It is more important that the remote control works but it would be a super X-mas gift when design and functionality meets. :-)

Thanks for you help in advance.

MediaGate GP-IR02BK does work as described. Simple to use .... has all the buttons... WAF.... all I need to surf XBMC.... all buttons work even the number pad (gets you quick to what you want to watch like the letter "P" will get you to Pulp Fiction quick.... .....

Fantastic!!

No tactile feel like a true remote and maybe bulky but does soooo much more.

Great work by Freezy - it's a killer app.

yeah, goodbye to all those IR/RF remotes.
