I am also using MS MCE on the same way by the way.
The only difference is that I am turning on the HTPC along with the TV Set by a single button (PC Power) using IR blasting (which is really really a cool feature) and the TV Power button controls the AMP. Certainly the volume buttons also reconfigured to control the volume of the AMP.
Well i have 0 lagg here so. Using the bultin Ir on asrock 330ht. Cant say how it works on other ir recivers. Bottom line harmony one is an excelent choice of universal remote.

Plus 1 for the Harmony One
My main system uses the ASRock 330Ht-BD and I concur that there is no lag

Of course not.
There should be NO lag with a properly set up harmony remote as long as you are using a correct ir receiver.

If only I could show you all who are that satisfied
Seriously:
- how could an original MS MCE receiver not be good enough?
- how could it set up incorrectly if it perfectly works with the original MCE remote in one moment and doesn't with the Harmony One in the next?
...on the sidenote:
I was trying for about a week with every possible combination of the delay settings. Contacted Logitech support as well. They were actually very nice and helpful. They reprogrammed the remote also with settings which is not possible via the public interface. Then at the end, they confirmed that due to the techology used in the remote there is some lag which they cannot eleminate.
...sidenote2
you want to tell me, that I don't have and/or can't setup a receiver correctly? Ehh?
Because you don't see it or you don't care, doesn't mean it's not there. There are many people who don't see the stutter of a 24Hz source on a display set to 50Hz or don't have any issue with watching interlaced content without de-interlacing it.

Olympia you are correct, it is a matter of perception.
I also don't notice the difference in sound quality between gold and platinum cables.
As the lag is longer between when my brain decides to send the message to my finger to push the button than the lag between when I push the button and the HTPC responds - I can live with it!
For the record - I have not touched any delay settings. Messing with these settings may be where the problem lies.......

PS3 BT remote with my own developed remote application.
Now i'm able to send different keystrokes with the same PS3 button. It depends on the active application.

I have an MCE remote downstairs and ATV remotes upstairs, but I primarily use the iTouch or iPad.

im wondering though, if i was to use xbmclive/linux instead of windows for xbmc, how could i run intelliremote? or eventghost?
also can anyone point me in the direction of a genuine Microsfot MCE remote? all i can see on ebay are chinese rip offs
