Nilus Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi, I tried to use Windows 8 on a HTPC and i'm struggling with being able to navigate the start screen without using a mouse/keyboard. The Xbox 360 controller doesn't work (real missed opportunity?!) and i'm wondering is it possible to set it up to run from a TV remote control, in the same way you can control a raspberry pi/raspbmc with a tv remote via hdmi? Essentially what I would like to be able to do is use a controller to navigate the start screen to load either steam/netflix etc. Is there a solution? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I use one of these and it allows you to navigate the start screen: http://www.amazon.co...63644327&sr=8-4 It doesn't require additional software, it just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aergan Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just tried an old RC118 MCE remote, still works under Windows 8.1 Update x64 to navigate the Start Screen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
