    Hey all.. lil issue I just thought of.. does the MCE2005 remote/base support channels? Reason is.. since her and I have the SAME E1505 and remote etc.. we are worried if we are in same room.. one remote would try to control both of them.

    Was wondering if anyone had info about this and if you can make sure one remote only controls one PC. Thanks. =)

    i know this doesnt answer your question, but what does the remote do? can it turn your laptop on and off? or does it just control the tv software?

    i'm looking for a remote control that can turn the monitor and sound off

    Power button turns the PC into standby, and can quicky turn it on again, has a D-pad to move with, kinda can work in browsing up and down, great for selecting music, watching watch dvds, pictures etc, also if you have a tv tuner, yes, it can hit the HDD record, change channels, volume etc.

    ATI Remote Wonder II however is FAR better tho! Programmable buttons, trackball style mouse, mutliple setup supports etc.
