Remote to do Htpc and reciever

I think you would be best off with two remotes...One for the components and another for the HTPC. For the HTPC the EFO 3rd Generation has great reviews and is a small keyboard/touchpad at $40

+1. Using a remote for that sort of thing is going to get old fast. I do it myself, but only for simple stuff like transport controls and launching apps. Otherwise I use a wireless keyboard/mouse.


If you insist, then nearly any remote will work if you get an IR dongle for your PC and just use a blaster from whatever RF system you get.

But how would it work with your other devices? Looks like it would just control the HTPC and nothing else.
