Initially, I purchased this remote to use on my Acer Aspire Revo HTPC box:

http://www.amazon.ca/Windows-Control-In ... 892&sr=8-1

Needless to say, this remote is a piece of s$%t. Half of the commands on it are virtual keyboard calls, and the device did not do what I wanted at all. I couldn't configure boxee or even ghost to properly use it fully, so i scrapped that after a few weeks of hell trying to get it working.

Ended up purchasing a USB-UIRT and configuring my Logitech Harmony remote as an MCE remote and configuring Event Ghost to translate the MCE events to keypresses to run Boxee.

Finally, after several weeks of headaches with the old controller, I was able to set up USB-UIRT successfully, and my media center is working great (even in HD!).

Thanks for Event Ghost. This is a great piece of software! I don't know what I would have done without it!
