    What do people do about IR receivers with a case like this? Personally, I would rather trade the integrated card reader for integrated IR.

    I’m with you there on the integrated IR vs. card reader.  But I haven’t played with the card reader to see how well Media Center deals with card insertions.  Would be neat if it automatically went into Pictures with the inserted card…  But yeah… I’d rather have an integrated IR.

    I use a USB Media Center compatible IR receiver that I ordered from Amazon.com.  It came with a remote that I will never use.  In a way, a USB dongle IR receiver is both a blessing and a curse.  A curse because it is “something extra” and a blessing that you can relocate it to somewhere closer to the TV quite easily (which is where we tend to point our remotes).
