I have an HTPC setup and want to get a Harmony remote (520 or 550, IR only) but I can't seem to figure out how people are getting it to work with MCE as there is no IR receiver included. I have used a ATi RF remote for a while, but that's starting to die now, so I figured replacement is in order...

Anyone know of a USB infrared receiver that will work with XP or MCE and a Logitech Harmony remote?

Thanks in advance
 
That has the ir receiver (though I'm not 100% sure that the Harmony is compatible), but I don't need the remote... Anyone know of where to get JUST a receiver?
 
It is 100% compatible with the harmony and I spent a month trying to find just the receiver with no luck so I bought the remote + receiver and then bought the MCE keyboard :cool:


Although I got all my MCE stuff off ebay, much cheaper.
 
i have the harmony 1000, and using the web set up....i was able to get it configured in minutes...it is awesome and works well. btw i am using the receiver that came with my ati 550 theater card.

OK, so just to clarify, the IR receiver that comes with the MCE remote/IR Receiver combo IS both compatible and contained in the Harmony database? Cause if so, I'm ordering that combo off ebay tonight...??

Thanks for the help guys
