    but it doesnt:

    Turn my TV on or off

    Change the volume on my Logitech Z-5500 Speaker System

    You will need a programmable remote to control a TV or your logitech speaker system.

    Control my PowerDVD 10 interface.[/quote]

    This is a big more tricky, as this is a piece of software, and isn’t dependent on hardware what so ever.

    You need to find a USB IR receiver and control software that resides on the pc in the background to take play, pause, ect commands and translates them to the power dvd software.

    I use Total Media Theatre and that has full MCE remote integration, so all of the MCE commands from the remote work with the software, haven’t used power dvd so can’t comment on that.

    Anyone know of any Windows7 HTPC remotes that fit the bill?  I’d rather not go with a Harmony remote.  I have one of those and its such a hassel to configure.

    You could try the cheapest of the cheap logitech harmony remotes. Logitech Harmony 300i for example, is like $30 retail, could be just what you need. It only controls 4 devices but really that is all you need.
