I have an acer 3610 running on ubuntu 9.10 and xbmc full install. I want for my 4 year old to be able to use a simple remote to control xbmc. what remotes do you recommend?

I'm a fan of the Logitech Harmony remotes myself. Pricey, but my daughter could run my home theater system at age 6.

hmm what about something like this? could this be programmed to use via xbmc? this looks perfect!
weemote® dV (Digital Video) http://www.weemote.com/weedvlm.html ![[Image: dvproduct.jpg]](http://www.weemote.com/art/dvproduct.jpg) this looks promising weemote® dV also features “full learning technology” for all user controls. This means that even if your DVD device is not supported in our library or you want to use Weemote® dV with a different device such as a TiVo system, it’s easy! Just take your existing remote control unit, push it’s buttons while pointing it directly at the weemote® dV. The weemote® dV automatically learns the commands and will faithfully reproduce any button for any device you wish to control! Just read that macros are not supported on this remote however on the other weemote 3 it is. that bites as it would be great to have my little one press one button to turn on the projector and avr and have xbmc start up automatically and then just navigate. But this remote does not do it. You have to have the devices on as there is no power button. *shucks* ATV1 with crystalbuntu V1 (11.eden).

What about the Apple Remote? It suits small hands and is nice and simple. Think it works with XBMC pretty well....although I have not tried it, I use a harmony normally. Will take mine home and try with XBMC Live tonight...
