    I just bought a R4000, and it was supposed to control itunes, media center, and my tv, but I couldn't even get the darn thing to recognize the reciever. So I'm going to return it 2morrow and get another, BUT, in case the second one has the same problem, does anyone have any good remotes for media center? Any other functions (ie itunes, tv, dvd player) are just a plus, it just has to be able to open MC. Thank you.

    Care to use this one? :D

    I guarantee, not only it can remote your media center, it sure can control your whole system:

    But...











    This is the whole part of it.

    J/K. :D

    (But you can take this serious also...) :p
