I am currently watching both sd and hd content using the XBMC live image, and my remote responsiveness (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150) leaves something to be desired. On the contrary, my Sony DVP-NS75H DVD player is excellent in this regard. Everything is fluid, whether it's FF, RW, slow motion playback, etc. Also, my TiVo HD does a great job at this as well.

I realize the XBMC default movie player does not provide for a fluid response similar to my DVD player, but is there something I can do to improve the user experience? The remote does everything I need it to do, but is there a better remote I should consider buying? Or is the responsiveness limited to the media encoding/format of the video file, ie avi vs mkv, sd vs 720p, or the codecs the Linux o/s uses?

Im using the old xbox remote and have ok performance of my remote.

Maybe you should try another remote as you said, im sure there are lots
of peaople in these forums who can share their experience when it comes
to using different remotes.

I use the MCE remote and it has very fast response. No problems there.
