I've bought a no name PC remote that looks like this.
It kinda works. The problem is that the USB IR receiver that comes with it installs itself as a mouse or keyboard (I'm not sure which).
So there are no drivers and I can't modify the remote's functionality through any of the usual applications.
The second problem is that I can't get it to power up the PC using the remote.
The power button on the remote works for shutting down (actually, going to sleep), but I can't get it to turn on the PC.
I am willing to buy a new remote and an IR receiver.
HOWEVER
The remote should be really easy to use. I don't need the really advanced options (ie Harmony remotes).
It needs to be able to turn on the PC. (MBO is Intel DH55TC).
Can you recommend me something?
Thanks.
I don't really know much about remotes and it's really frustrating when something doesn't work...
