    Hi Mike,

    I will double-check the sleep settings because I am not 100% sure what they are set at but as of last night when I went from the HTPC to Directv and back again the MCE interface was still up, not a login screen or anything like that.

    It seems to me that in Vista the IR receiver was much more active (blinking intermittently even if commands were not being sent) but now it only lights up when I am actively using the MCE.

    Since everything I read about this points to a driver issue and with MCE remotes being so inexpensive, I would not be against getting a new one, however I really didn’t see many Windows 7 certified remotes, they all seem to be Vista certified.  If anyone is running a similar setup and isn’t having this issue let me know what remote and I guess more importantly what IR receiver and I’ll look into getting one.  Just BTW, I am also using a wireless keyboard / mouse combo and it does not have any issues dropping with dropping it’s connection when I switch between functions.
