Ahh that sucks, i was hoping not to have to buy an external receiver.

The Dell handset is almost certainly sourced from somewhere else and rebadged, it's almost certainly a basic MCE remote as described in http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi...in_Windows and if it's a common handset your harmony may be able to emulate it.

Can you post a picture of the handset somewhere? Include any model numbers or descriptions written on the handset or receiver.

I would grab a copy of ShowKey from http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/ and use it to write down the keys sent by all the buttons on the handset (use the original handset not the Harmony). Once you have the full list it may be obvious that there's a "spare" keypress you can use as a hotkey to launch XBMC.

Thank you jhsrennie. I believe when the Harmony learns from the Dell remote it sees it as an Medion EPC II. I will try ShowKey and see what I have available to map, thanks.
