I'm using my computer to control my 1.5Tb of movies, pictures, television, music, tv-tunner via Windows Media Center.
I had before a Logitech 1000 universal remote that I just sold in order to buy tomorrow a Beo5.
However, I found a clever solution in controlling everything by using an MX Air Logitech Mouse. That is really great and I am really happy with this solution.
