Please recommend a remote control for a PC

[Infohawk]

I want to connect a pc to an hdtv to play web content like hulu. Anyone recommend a cheap remote that will allow me to do this from the couch? Thanks.

What OS? Do you have Media Center or the like?

You could always buy an "air mouse" if you didn't need a keyboard.

Not sure how "cheap" they are.

Sorry vista 64 which I believe comes with media center.

The hulu desktop is designed for use with a media center remote. Any of them will work, just make sure you get one with a receiver.

Most are made in china and you sometimes get what you pay for. The "vista certified" remotes will generally have the red-blue-green-yellow buttons that are used for blu-ray, etc.

Another option...the official Dell remote for $30

Add Hulu to media center and you never have to grab a keyboard / mouse

The best I've found so far is a generic IR receiver with a Logitech Harmony remote.
