"Can I get a TV Style remote for my laptop ?"

Could be a long shot this one ....

I watch quite a bit of stuff on my laptop and wanted to know if I can buy a Infra-Red receiver and TV style remote and then configure it to work with Media Player or a similar Player ?

I already have a USB RF Video input device so don't want to buy another one of those (unless it's the only way)

Thanks

yeah, the ATI one is the one in the link in my post (£13ish from ebuyer)

i have an ATI remote wonder that only cost £13 and works with most of the players.

Hmph, indeed.

Getting a Bluetooth phone next month ...

Pfft, what a shameful plug :P

It is good though, our computing teacher purchased the bluetooth thing for his Mac, and he can control it from the back of the lecture room, so slideshows are easier to present.

Hmph.

You could always sell your PC, buy a Mac with built-in Bluetooth and then use your mobile to control it: [URL]http://homepage.mac.com/jonassalling/Shareware/Clicker/[/URL]

Looks good, and it's cheaper than mine!

no probs, got an email back, that remote works on any PC, will order one.

Thanks

Can you send it to my home address instead? I'm off work for another week and it'll probably go 'missing' if it arrives there and I can't pick it up!

thanks, emailed them, should work though (hopefully).
Sent you an email about your Dreamcast Disc, will send it tomorrow.
