Hi guys, I use a PS3 remote for XBMC on my PC. I am getting an actual PS3 next week. Couple of questions:
My remote wont auto pair with the ps3 will it? and if it does will it unpair with the PC?
If it doesn't auto pair; if I buy another ps3 remote to use on the ps3 (blu ray playback isn't 100% speedy on my asrock 330BD for some reason) will that use a different pairing code than the one I use for XBMC so I can use both without conflicts?
I know IR remotes cause conflicts (the remote that came with the PC won't power on the PC when the Xbox 360 is plugged in!) but they are different technologies.
I don't use the MCE remote that came with it because it's cheap and nasty. And because the IR sensor is non standard, I can't just use a microsoft remote. Plus most of those remotes are cheap and nasty, and the decent ones are WAY over priced. I like the PS3 remote, has lots of buttons for my needs and I can fully customize it without messing with reg hacks and whatnot. This is just for info in case anyone was wondering, not really here to ask about alternative remote solutions.
