Title: Media Center Control
Post by: Data on December 31, 2010, 15:35:01 PM
As luck would have it my media center control has died, so I went looking for a new one and found this little gem, it's a normal media centre control plus a keyboard and mouse (of a fashion), and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I'm gona get one, will let you know how it goes.

Looks like a cool gadget.

RF too so no pointing it at anything.

 :sign-oops: On closer inspection of this little control I see that it doesn't have a TV Guide or a Live TV button, or not one that I can see on it, maybe you know better if you have one?

I think it's a neat little gadget though but I'm now thinking its not for me.

Back to the drawing board, sorry.

Given the size of the thing, it has LOST written all over it. >:D

Well after looking at a few makes and types of MCE control I ended up getting a standard type one, almost identical to the last one I had except this new one has a mouse as well, but it doesn't have the red button, however you can still access the red button by using its built in mouse.

It works well and has a pretty good IR range.
