what IR module works best with Logitech Harmony?
« on: October 09, 2008, 01:18:34 am »

I currently have a MCE remote. it's not Microsoft brand but seems to work well with Vista MC.

I've tried with MC but chapter/track skipping doesn't work. Rewind and forward are useless either. And I do not see a button for DVD menu.

Anyhow, the plan is to buy a Harmony 1 and buy the MCE remote for the IR module.

Is this the best way to go or maybe there are better IR modules for Harmony?

thanks for the help

I use IR Module from MCE and use Harmony 880 it seems to work fine for me.. I'm also able to skip tracks with regular remote.

The MCE IR module works great for me too with Harmony 525.

I have the 880 (Want the One) and it works well with the standard Media Center IR receiver. I originally tried media jukebox and was so blown away by the interface I bought Media Center - almost entirely based on the functionality with my Harmony remote.

This is what I have:

p/n: X801143-107

I don't remember paying that much for my remote though. This is another product I have for my HTPC:

I will probably trade them both in for this though:
