I have the standard windows mce 2005 remote version 2 ([Link: microsoft.com]). I am not sure if that is IR , RF or what.

I went into the bios of my pc to be enable "boot from mouseclick". There are various other boot option but not a boot from usb device one.

Just to clarify I am looking for a remote that would control:
1) Windows MCE 2005
2) an old but relatively high end Yamaha receiver
3) DVD player
4) Vizio P50 plasma tv

I have noticed that I can control win mce 2005 by pointing the remote in the opposite direction from where the pc is but the others cannot.
