I'm using what appears to be the exact same remote with my Raspberry/XBMC. I've lost my tech support. Would you consider this plug and play?

it's a wireless keyboard - if XBMC responds to the keys it sends, then it will work.

This device is definitely plug n play, but I only got it to work once, for about 20 seconds. I would not recommend this item.

Hi, it is plug and play, but I found that not all functions are working as good as I had expected. I prefer to use my small wireless keyboard with mousepad for theRaspberry/XBMC.

In the world of XMBC distributions operating on Raspberry Pi the concept of plug play exists only if the XMBC distribution already has install the kernel module and software to support the device. On OpenELEC the Sanoxy controller works. At least on version I have used (running XBMC 12, 13, & 14).

The only other thing I would HIGHLY recommend is the Keyboard, the controller falls short of controlling everything. The XBMC is not really based on channels, but on add-ons. Each add-on will provide you with certain entertainment. For example: The Mash-Up add-on has a very wide range of movies, TV show, sporting events, documentaries; Sports Devil is all about sports; Video Devil is all about adult movies; Ice Films is movies and TV and there are hundreds more, including international channels, radio, etc. that you can download from different repositories. Just Google XBMC repositories and you will find YouTube videos explaining how to do everything. I hope this helps =)

Do you have 1 single remote, now, that controls your DirectTV box and the TV? If yes- then this remote will work the same way. If you have to use separate remotes then maybe not.

Keep in mind this only repeats commands from Logitech hubs. Since I'm not sure what your remote setup is, I cannot say for sure whether it will work in your setup. I use the blaster to extend my Logitech RF system to an additional IR device that's not in plain sight of my DVR, receiver, Apple TV and Blu-Ray. I believe it will only work with the Logitech Hub.

I can confirm. XBMC works flawlessly with this nuc. The IR is perfect as well when paired with the microsoft dvd player. I don't have any audio sync issues. I have made 4 i3 nucs for others. None have reported the problems mentioned above.

This was used in a custom XMBC HTPC so I can't give a straight answer on this. It should work on any HTPC build regardless of OS

Yes. I've used it with xbmc with a g box midnight and it is my primary remote with a chromebox xbmc device for a few months now. I've only had problems with right click actions on a few occasions. Also be mindful that it transmits wireless g so it could overlap other device signals if they are on the same wireless g channel. You may also want to look into Flirc device. It allows you to program any IR remote to control xbmc. You could then program your tv remote for basic xbmc functions and have the rii for items that may require a keyboard. [follow up]: Joe mentioned distance. My distance from the g-box is 8 feet and for the asus chromebox / xbmc is about 9 feet. I have controlled xbmc from 17 feet away. Again your results may vary based on other wireless g devices and rii battery charge. If you think it is on the same wireless g channel as another device then press Fn + F1 keys for 10 seconds to switch to another wireless g channel. Also forgot to mention that the right click context menu can be done by pressing the C key instead of the right click below the track pad.

Sorry I only use this board in an HTPC running XBMC (Linux OS) but it works flawlessly for video.

it would work if you enabled HDMI control. :) that lets you use the Bravia Sync feature since it uses HDMI signals to allow you to navigate the XMB with the Receiver remote or a sony tv remote or any other device that does hdmi control.

Thanks, M. Squires - much appreciated. I expect that I'll be using a Harmony remote, but presumably that just replicates the TV remote's own signal. If you find definitively that this either does or doesn't work, I'd love to know.

There are some keyboard characters that do not function properly within XBMC. So if you want to type in XBMC I would recommend looking elsewhere. Otherwise it appears to work fine.

I am currently using it on a Raspberry Pi running XBMC. it has full functionality but is limited to the features of the device. For instance the Pi hasn't developed a good fast forward or rewind. The Win7 PC might have a better set of features but I haven't tried it.

That's going to be pushing it. If it's a clear line of sight, it *might* work, but I'd hate to bet my life on it. Realistically, since this is the best of the consumer remotes, if you absolutely, positively need it to work 100% of the time, you're likeky going to have to bite the bullet and step up to a large, heavy, expensive professional unit, such as the PerfectCue (dsan.com/CueLights/PerfectCueMini.asp).

I used an older remote with the new switch and had no problems. Can't be positive, but would bet 95% compatible.

You can plug an external DVD burner into the USB port and XBMC will configure itself for playback (but not burning). Neither Linux or XBMC support BluRay the last time I checked.

Probably yes, I use an old "URC" universal remote to control both the (remote) HDMI source as well as the (local) HDMI receiver, just works.

You can use whatever remote you'd like. I have directv. I'm not using there remote. I have ir emitters on the boxes and an mx3000 set to rf. I've been using this hdflow for a while now and it hasn't blinked. I'm about to add 2 more
