I recommend the Niveus PC Remote instead. It's $40 USD and you get an RF receiver (based on X10 remote like from ATI), plus a programmable, 5 function, learning IR remote. You can run Girder for HTPC and use the same remote to control your stereo equipment or TV via infrared. It has four macro buttons, a large, round 8-direction mouse button with left and right click and all the standard buttons on a TV or VCR remote. There is a list of remote codes provided and you can learn individual buttons from existing remotes.

The five function buttons are TV, VCR, CBL, SAT, AUX and a sixth one, PC, makes commands go to the PC via the wireless link.

The RF receiver is an X10-based transceiver so it might even transmit to X10 modules for home automation. I don't have any X10 modules to verify this but it is listed in Device Manager as X10 USB Firecracker Interface and is recognized by the Firecracker software.

The company is Niveus Media, from California, and they make HTPC boxes and remotes.
