[quote=albundles]it’s driving me nuts but I can’t find that one(neo) remote that will replace them all…[/quote]

It’s sad to see that we can’t find any remote to do the job. Maybe us, htpc users, should explain to the remote builders what we need…

[quote=Mike Garcen]This one on ebay looks like the one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-Microsoft-MCE-Media-Center-Remote-Windows-XP-Vista-/160512966432?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item255f517f20%5B/quote%5D

It has the same shape, except, on the topleft, mine has a power button for the tv. Also, I think this one won’t control tv’s volume.

I have a MCE remote with learning capabilities. However, I cannot find it for sell anymore.

I’m looking for a MCE remote that can control my tv power and volume.

I just want to say that I like the new website. Reviews, news, guides… it’s well organized. 

However, I believe that only the forums part needs some work. I was used to watch the new posts by looking at the list of newest posts at the top of the site. The “Recent Activity” part is close, but not as good as the previous website. There was the (last user) and (msg count) on each line that was useful.

Overall, I believe it’s a great redesign.

Funny how you compare PowerDVD and TMT. I selected TMT a long time ago because integration with MCE seemed better at that time.

Maybe it’s time to give PowerDVD another try…

Well, there is more than 1 problem.

Sometimes, I have to download an TMT update or the bluray won’t play. Do stand alone bluray players have to be firmware updated that often? I don’t believe…

Sometimes, if I press pause, and then play, the audio is garbage and I have to reboot.

Sometimes, the audio works only in the menus, and not during the movie.

Sometimes, AnyDVD must be running or the bluray won’t play.

I don’t think there is a TMT4…
I’m using TMT3, but it’s painfull with bluray. 1 on 4 disk I try won’t play correctly, most of the time is audio problems.

I hope one day I will have a reliable bluray player in my htpc. Yesterday, wife told me: “this is the last time I rent a bluray!!! I’ll stay with dvds”

I programmed the volume buttons on my mce remote to control the speakers instead of the pc volume level. Some mce remotes are learning remotes.

I use a pc speaker system that came with a remote, so i learned the volume buttons from this remote.

Are you using a hdmi connection?

If so, you will get a better image quality with the 5550, because you will be able to send the signal in YCbCr and change the RGB limits. That will correct the dark picture.

I’d go with a 5450 or 5550. picture is great when connected with hdmi.
