5.0 out of 5 stars Great MCE Remote replacement
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2011
Verified Purchase
I have been using Windows MCE since it was first released and purchased a few original Microsoft remotes way back in 2006. These worked great, but general family abuse has left them falling apart after 5 years so I wanted a replacement.... this is when I discovered that you couldnt buy them anymore :(

I purchased a few different types of remote over the last few months, most were pretty shocking in terms of build quality and function... however this one from Noah Company is excellent. It has great range and is really nice to use, it has all of the shortcut buttons from my original MCE remote, plus a few more. Overall I am really impressed with this - the best replacement for an original MCE remote that I have found so far - highly recommended!

I bought this a while ago its not a bad remote. Doesn't do some of the things I want it to. I contacted the manufacturer using their email address on their website but it came back with an undelivered message so I wouldn't expect much support on it if it breaks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek looking and works straight out of the box
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2012

I am running Windows Media Center on Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit).

The remote comes with everything needed (batteries included!) although the USB cable for the receiver is a bit too short and I'll need an extender for that. Work straight away, The book that comes with describes how to program the remote to perform operations that affect your TV, this should be ideal to have the remote adjust the volume on the TV instead on the PC.

Looks and build wise, its a really good choice when you look at other remotes that are out there at the moment.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK with Ubuntu 9.10 and XBMC
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2010
I bought this to control XBMC running on a spare Ubuntu 9.10 PC. Its early days yet but the good news is it works straight from the box with no real set up at all although I did load LIRC from the package manager before connecting the IR reciever. So far so good...

5.0 out of 5 stars Good blaster (and remote)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2010
I purchased this product mainly because I was unable to switch channel on my HTPC (because of a broken blaster) and not because of the remote. With the new blaster switching channel took half the time compared to before + that it worked, and I was also positively surprised by the remote too, it had a touch of quality and it was very ergonomic. The only thing missing is backlight so you can see the keys when watching TV/movies in darkness. But still a very good blaster and remote!

4.0 out of 5 stars Alright but problems with its own IR receiver
Reviewed in the United States on 14 November 2008

I've been using media center since XP's version debuted and using a regular home theater PC before it. I've had various flavors of Media Center remotes through the years, which ends up being a fortunate thing since the IR receiver on this unit is problematic, as evidenced by one of the other users getting double inputs on everything.

Since I already had an IR receiver from my other media center remote, I just pulled this remote out of the box, put the batteries in, and was off and running. Worked fine, every input worked perfectly. But the older IR receivers from the standard media center systems are larger and more obtrusive than the smaller profile unit that came with this, so I went ahead and disconnected my old one, and plugged this one in. Still let the IR blaster signals through fine, could change channels, but the green button no longer worked apparently, nor did the zoom feature. Every button input, as noted in another review, was doubled. So I pulled the receiver off that came with this, put the original back, and it worked like a champ again. That cost it one star.

The other star was lost due to the inability to learn anythign else. My searches turned up two versions of this remote, one with a "lower" number and this one, so I assumed this was the one that could learn things like the TV power so I could only use the one remote. Not true. No learning on this model, and no backlighting on the keys. Since this is a new layout for the keys, I would've appreciated backlighting until I learn where things are by feel. So those two cost it another star.

On the plus side, it's the only remote I've seen that has some of the media center specific features like Zoom. And, unlike the newer one that came with Media Center kits the last few years, this one still has direct buttons for radio, music, pictures, and videos, things that disappeared on the new iterations of remotes a few years ago. So that brought one of the stars back that I removed from the pitfalls.

Most used buttons are well placed and individual enough that inadvertant pressings are nonexistent. The transport controls are easy to find and all the buttons have good tactile response. You KNOW when you've pressed them.

Overall a great remote for such a cheap price. Unfortunately the lack of learning means it will only be in use here until I get a new remote, whenever the new remotes with windows sideshow functionality are more than just vaporware.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Remote!
Reviewed in the United States on 30 January 2009

So many times you buy a product online and it doesn't quite measure up. Not this one--from the box to the style of the remote, to its working features--this is one great remote, and a statement like that is hard to get from me. I'm using it to drive a media center PC for my main HD TV.

If you understand this is a remote for only using Windows Media Center (WMC), you will not be disappointed. Some of the things this remote will do (most with one button push)
1. put the PC to sleep/ wake it up
2. Select the main menu when watching a DVD
3. Change channels on your TV tuner attached to the PC.
4. Start recording a TV program from the TV guide.
5. Zoom in on the screen for DVD's that don't fill the screen. (four choices)
6. One button WMC startup.
7. easy guide navigation (up, down, left, and right)
8. One button push to watch TV from outside WMC.

Things that keep it from perfect:
The directions mention a "learning" capability (to use the volume on the TV vs. the computer, for example), but this model didn't have that.
It requires a separate infrared receiver (provided) that plugs in to a USB port. About 2X2 in.

And did I say, this is one the nicest looking remotes? Stylish--it looks first class.

The directions say it's for Vista--I'm using it with Vista Ultimate.

I recommend this highly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great remote/receiver for XBMC
Reviewed in the United States on 19 January 2010

So I bought this entirely for use with XBMC. I plugged the receiver into my Revo running XBMC Live, put batteries in the remote, and it worked instantly and without any configuration.

I plan to program my Harmony to control this, so wasn't too worried about the remote itself, but it's an above-average-quality one, with a sensible layout and well-labeled buttons.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite ...
Reviewed in the United States on 3 July 2009

This remote seems to work well for the basic MCE functionality, but it has some issues that hamper its usability (for me.)

First, the "learning" feature that's been mentioned elsewhere. The MS remote for MCE has the ability to "learn" to turn your TV on/off, and to adjust the volume on your stereo (or TV.) This remote mentions such a feature in the manual ("if available"), but the version sold here doesn't actually have this feature. Having to juggle three remotes gets cumbersome, especially when the "standard" MCE remote doesn't have this problem.

Second is response time. As implied in my previous paragraph, I also have an MS MCE remote. The MS remote/receiver is quite responsive. With this remote you have to hold down each button longer for it to "register" as a button-click with the receiver. At first I thought it was an issue with the remote itself, but I later realized it's an issue with the receiver. (The receiver that came with this remote will work with the MS remote, but it still has a "sluggish" response time. No such issue if I go back to the MS receiver.) If you're used to clicking through menus (or commercials) quickly, this gets aggravating because it doesn't register some of your clicks.

Finally, this remote is extremely lightweight. It has no heft to it. This might actually be a good thing if it weren't for the learning issue, but since I'm not actually using the remote for its intended purpose, this means I can't even use it as a paperweight on my coffee table.
