I know about the keyboard press stuff. But the xbmc firetv wiki states that "MCE (IR) remote - 2nd generation works. Turn on the Fire TV after plugging in the IR receiver and it should work." . And I have seen in other forums that it is just supposed to work without any extra drivers or anything. Is anyone able to get the "regular rc6" mce remote to work with the firetv? Thanks

The Fire T.V wiki points to the Ortek Remote I don't know what they mean by second generation. I'm guessing the person didn't know what they were talking about when they edited the wiki. That remote is just a cheap mce remote that sends KEYBOARD presses and doesn't correspond to a generation as far as I can tell. It is not like the rosewill remote that you pointed to. or the Microsoft branded version. You wanted an answer I'm giving it to you. Those remotes won't work.
