hi im from the uk for a start, so if you are going to link me to shops please link me to ones in the uk

now, i currently use xbmc for windows, does it matter what version i have? if it does i think i have xbmc babylon

i am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and im currently using the aeon stark skin for xbmc

what controllers are available that i can use so i dont have to use my keyboard to fast forward, rewind, stop and many more things, i think life would be better with a remote

so what can i use and how would i use it? would i need to set loads of things up or is it like a plug and play thing like the xbox 360 controller where you just plug it in and start using it immediately

thank you

You have one of two options. If you get an MCE remote, you could try this:

which is supposed to have MCE remote powers built in.

Otherwise, or if you want a little more control, you can follow one of these guides.

If you follow a guide, I recommend event ghost.

i just read this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=35910

i also installed ir server suite

what do you think of that guide? if i go for that guide what do i do next, just buy the remote?

If you have a 360 and an extra controller I find this program...Xbox360EventClient.exe, super simple to use. No config, just have it run on startup and good to go.

Couldn't find a download link, if need be I could up it for you...
