hardware for Media Center
Hi,
I would like to know how to use media center. I launch MC and it comes up on my TV but how do I navigate it? Do I have to have a remote control or can I use my keyboard and mouse (I don't see the pointer)? If I need a remote control, can you recommend one? Does it come with an infra-red receiver or is that a separate purchase? Thanks |

Yes you navigate with a remote.

The most elegant method is with a Media Center remote control with a media
center compatible Infrared receiver (they usually come bundled, a remote and receiver). They can be found at major computer retailers and online. Since MC also recognizes mice, keyboards, almost any input device, you could use a wireless keyboard, or even a wired keyboard, whatever you're comfortable with. Since you've already got a keyboard, try using the Arrow/Cursor Keys. The highlighted area should change when you press up/down/left/right. The backspace key takes you BACK a level. There are many keyboard shortcuts that work too, but mostly arrows, spacebar and enter will get you going.
