I plan on buying a new Vista computer, adding a TV Tuner card and using it as a HTPC. I 'd like to be able to control Media Center (to record tv etc.) via my existing Pronto TSU-3000 remote. The computer is not near the media room and I'd like to use the Pronto's RF capabilities directly without having to use an IR blaster or emitter.

My first question is, do you use a remote control to control the tuner card, media center or both? I would guess that the tuner card is contolled by Media Center and MC is contolled buy it's remote.

Second, what's the best way to contol media center directly using RF?

Thanks,

Mark
