Controlling Media Center

[jasonb55]

Hi

I have recently built a new computer with Win7 64bit. Media Center works very well with my TV but I have no way of controlling it from the coutch. I have done a bit of searching and all I can find are MEdia Center remotes on ebay for $20-30. My concern is they all say compatible with Windows XP. Will it work anyways? Is there anywhere else to purchase a remote? Is there anything that uses Bluetooth?

If I could get some answers that would be great.

Thanks
Jason

This is the one I use and all you have to do is plug in the receiver. No software to install. Works fine in Win 7.

If you find a remote that uses the ehome driver structure it will work with Windows 7. I have a OEM Microsoft remote and it uses the Ehome structure and was signed for XP but vista and 7 still have ehome drivers. The only remotes I am aware that follow that driver structure is the MS OEM Remotes
