I just learned that my brother got me a universal remote control for Christmas.
It's a huge touch-screen LCD display and is highly programmable; you can create buttons and record macros. It's a very cool toy, and I think it'll be great for my TiVo, since it'll make it a little easier to navigate to different screens.
I would love to use this as my only remote control. Is there an easy way of using an IR remote to control MC?
I know I'd need some sort of IR receiver, but beyond that, I have no clue.

Check the FAQ at the top of this thread. I think there are some links there. MC Options has a remote section. You can teach MC to use any remote there.

Gday,
I'm using an IRMan from http://www.evation.com/irman/ (http://www.evation.com/irman/)
It is a serial port device, which is supported via plug-in in Media Center. It is one of the most well-supported devices for IR control of a PC.
A lot of software has in-built support for it, and you can use Girder http://www.girder.nl/ (http://www.girder.nl/) to control applications, windows etc which do not neccessarily have in-built IR support.
Have fun!

Ditto to all of that. :)
