Hi all,
I have a question if its possible to have a custom remote that only allows the user to change channels, change the volume and also mute but nothing else. I was looking at a "learning remote" and just learn it these command but wondered if anybody else done this already and what remote you bought etc. This is for a "public area" and don't want them to access the other areas (I have already the command to boot straight in media centre with Live TV playing). and of course I will need an IR receiver as well (based in the UK)
Hope somebody can help
Cheers
Payneardo
Custom remote (with minimal function)

Logitech Harmony remotes can do this (well, at least the 300 and 200 can anyway...I'm not sure about the other Harmony remotes, or any other brand of programmable remote).

I recently purchased a Phillips learning remote for a family member, and was suprised to see that it had Media Center command tables in its database. But you could just learn individual commands and keep the rest blank. The remote was about $10.

Thanks for all the suggestions its much appreciated
seen the logitech remotes on special offer and will look at purchasing one
also found the Hip remote software on my travels round a few forums and going try loading the MCE commands and take out the commands I don't want and see if runs on startup with just the channel and volume commands
Thanks again for taking time to reply
