I've been looking for a decent wireless keyboard w/build in mouse control or multimedia remote for the system I have hooked up to my projector. Any goon tested and recommended products?

edit: looking around or under $100
The ione Scorpius P-20 2.4 GHz Wireless Joystick Keyboard is inexpensive and alright if you like joystick mice. A bit cheapy feeling but well, it is cheap.

Anyone ever used both a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600 and 1250 in the same computer with Windows 7 Media Center at the same time?

I already have the 1600 and want to add another tuner and there are a TON of super cheap 1250s on eBay...

Would a Celeron 1037U or Celeron G1820 be a good upgrade over my ancient E5200 MCE box for transcoding the MPEG-2 MCE recordings to tablets and Rokus via Plex?

You can get fanless Bay Trail based systems without buying from AliExpress now....

Though for my purposes I have never found a case that supports fanlessness *and* an expansion card and 3.5" hard drives, so I'm going to have to deal with at least one fan when I try to build a small Bay Trail J1900 Celeron MCE/HTPC box.

For under $100 all you'll get will be an android box, like the FireTV. The good news is that most of them are fanless and android can do torrents.

Yeah as wolfbiker notes, the buttons are not for you, they are sold to the service providers and retailers, they go to the highest bidder. That's why the Roku buttons change every minor revision of every single model, they're constantly taking bids.

Managed to kill that bit of hardware by plugging the wrong unlabelled AC adapter into it. Fucker just never turned on again.
