Looking for someone that may be running Vista Home Premium and using a media centre remote with their Media Centre setup.

I can't seem to find a Microsoft media centre remote which has been released specifically for Vista Premium.

I know there is the clunky old one that was released for XP Media Centre (don't know if that works under Vista) but was rather hoping they had something out there for Vista Premium's Media Centre.

Is anybody using a media centre remote with Vista's built in Media Centre, is it successful and if so which is the remote you are using?

Thanks.

I am using the standard Microsoft media centre remote (that came out at the same time as XP Media Centre O/S) with Vista Home Premium/Media Centre and it works just fine!

Another combination you could consider going with (although it will be another $100 more expensive) is a Logitech MX Air Mouse (www.logitech.com) with Vista Media Centre.

I have one and it is superb (once you get used to using it like you would a remote).

Hope that helps ...

Thanks for your reply - very helpful.

It's good to know the Microsoft media remotes work with the Vista media centre.

Don't think I need the extra expense of the MX Air at the moment - though it could be a possible upgrade for the future.

Thanks again.
