My media center remote just broke and I went looking for another one. Then I remembered Dell's Very Cool XPS M2010 Media Center Remote w/ Gyroscopic mouse. I went on ebay looking for it and found one (http://cgi.ebay.com/XPS-M2010-Media-Center-Premium-Remote-WJ151-Dell-NEW_W0QQitemZ220121679973QQihZ012QQcategoryZ51086Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). The thing is, do you think I can use this on my computer (Not an XPS M2010)?

Thanks,

I would think it would work... but I'm not sure. What kind of tuner are you using?

Im using an ATI TV Wonder, but what does that have anything to do with it?

Nothing in your case because the ATI Remote Wonder is incompatible with WinXP MCE. But that remote should work as far as I know, it's built to talk to Win MCE.

The thing is its wireless and I don't think its IR. So what kind of wireless do you think it uses?

ATI Remote wonder uses RF to trasmit, but media center uses IR. Since windows will be controlling the tuner card itself you need an IR remote that will communicate with windows.
