I'm thinking of buying an Acer Aspire Revo to solely run XBMC via Linux, does anyone have any idea if the Harmony 1000 remote is compatible?
I have another computer to update/program the remote so I only need it to work as a controller with the Revo.
If anyone could help in anyway that would be great, thanks.

Hi, did you get a solution for this yet?
Was thinking of setting up my Harmony 1000 remote with XBMC Linux myself.
Since my ASRock ION 330 don't have an IR sensor, I ofc need to buy a IR remote control, and then substitue my H1000 with this in learning mode.

I got a Harmony 515 running fine with a DIY ir receiver (serial lirc device). Is the 1000 still IR based? If so i see no reason why it shouldn't work. There are some tutorials in here on how to use a harmony with lirc and xbmc.

Well, didn't find any rock solid guide yet.
Yes, Harmony 1000 have both IR and RF.
I also have the RF Extender (RF -> IR devices)
I bought a cheap MCE Remote from the net now, and will try it out.

Starstream,
In short, if I understand correctly - If I buy a harmony one, it will work with my asrock ionstar 330 out of the box?
Or do I need to buy some sort of extender or something?
I take the asrock 330 doesn't have IR, does any mini mediecenter have that built in?
