 This worked when TV card infrared sensors failed for Media Center June 21, 2010

Absolutely perfect. It is running in an old Dell desktop that I stuck a Hauppage receiver card in. Card's IR failed to recognize channel numbers and some other IR signals. The Microsoft unit fixed it all.
 Drops key presses June 2, 2010

I'm getting a new remote. This one is far too frustrating. The remote sensor has a red LED that lights when it receives a keypress. And even though the LED lights, some of the time the key press does not work.

This review may not be entirely helpful for those looking to use it as it is intended. However, I purchased the item for a piece of it's functionality and to use with XBMC and not MCE. The remote looks good but I'm not using it. I am currently only using the IR dongle that is supplied along with a Logitech Harmony One and EventGhost 0.3.7.r1262 and XBMC Camelot. I installed the IR dongle on a PC using XP MCE 2002 SP3. Of course the generic driver for this is in Vista and not in XP. But, with some modifying of the IRBUS.inf file in XP and using EventGhost, you can map the MCE remote keys and still use it or, like myself, a Harmony remote. So, this may not be a helpful review for Vista users but hopefully helps out XP users

I ended up getting the media center keyboard shortly after purchasing this. I was concerned that it would have the same issues regarding the trouble I was having programming the remote to work with other components. The remote functions well enough in the media center environment but is basically as useful as a brick for anything else. My kid plays with it now as I find my self using the media center keyboard instead. The media center keyboard is amazingly easy to program. You need to get this product regardless for the rf adapter
