hello all,

i am planning to buy a "Foxconn NetBox-nT330i" for use with xbmc. i am planning to use an apple remote with xbmc. i like the apple infared control (its small and i dont need more to watch movies).

can anyone recommend a cheap IR usb adapter which works with the apple remote and linux?

thanks for the information!

kind redgards

any true (!) MCE RC6 USB IR receiver should do the job

will this one work: http://www.delock.com/produkte/gruppen/I...61574.html ?

that's an IRDA adapter not an MCE-compatible IR receiver

[andy204]

humm. i am toop stupid. i just need the receiver and not the package with the remote control. like this: http://www.amazon.de/Fernbedienung-Contr...=8-1-fkmr0

nah, that's also not right... usually the "guaranteed to work" MCE IR receivers are quite big bastards such as the HP one, just search ebay. you can get them really cheap directly from HK but it usually takes 1 or 2 weeks for them to arrive.
