Users / What are some cheap remote control options?

« on: December 10, 2007, 09:41:19 am »

Can someone please recomend me a cheap remote option. Preferably something on ebay.
There are a heap of windows media centre compatible remotes on ebay, does this mean they will work with LinuxMCE?

Cool thanks Andrew

May sound like a silly question but seeing that it only has one PCI slot how can I get video out to my TV?
