I'm looking into building an HTPC and I want to use an RF remote so it doesnt require line of sight, but I would like to be able to use the same remote as a universal remote to do basic functions of my TV as well like on/off, volume, channel and change source but my TV requires an IR remote. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a remote that can do both RF and IR and handle 2 different devices. It doesnt have to be anything fancy with a touch screen or any of that jazz, just a basic remote that works well with XBMC via RF and can handle the basic functions of my TV is all I need

I have one and they are the dogs danglies!!
Controls XBMC perfectly (after a quick change to the keymap)
It is also a learning remote so you should have no problems controlling your TV
And it can also control the mouse.
It might not be perfect but it's pretty damn close.
And no, I don't work for the company lol
