Hi there,
I'm thinking of buying a Xbox 360 remote controller, this one. Right now I have 3 remotes around in my bedroom (where I have the htpc): TV, Asrock and stereo.
The stereo remote doesn't bother me too much, and eventually I'll replace that with some good quality PC speakers.
What I'd like is to use that xbox remote to control the TV and the Asrock, which I think would be possible. I've looked into the microsoft site and there are lots of codes for samsung TV's, so that should be fine. What about the asrock? Should the integrated ir sensor be compatible with the xbox 360 remote?
I've done some search about the xbox 360 remote and it seems it's working fine with xbmc after some fiddling with lirc and so on.. I guess it's not recognised as a standard mce remote. Also it seems good quality. Any owners/users want to share info?
I also have a Xbox 360 in the room. At first, the asrock remote turned it on /off and so on. I've now disabled that feature, so the Asrock remote only controls the asrock machine. If I happen to buy the xbox remote, will it also control the xbox or willl it be ignored like the asrock now?
And last, but not least, if you happen to have a remote that controls both the TV and xbmc and should be compatible with the asrock 330ht... ideas and suggestions are welcome. Just keep in mind I'm not really into buying 100€ remotes
Thanks!
