remote for computer

[sixf00t4]

so my friend ended up buying the ati aiw VE since it was the only one @ best buy. and it was $40. the guy @ best buy said that there is no way for her to get a remote to change the channels with that card though??? is that right??? can anyone recommend a remote that will work? samwichse recommended girder in this thread. anyone have any experience in that?

If best buy dude said it.....id believe the opposite.

Isn't Girder just the software? Don't you need the actual remote itself?

I have the ATI AIW VE myself, and I got the Keyspan Digital Media Remote. It's great for what I do. It does not have number keys on it though. It's an IR receiver that plugs into a USB port. It does have its own girder-like software that lets you define application-specific functions (you assign keystrokes to the buttons on the remote, but you can assign different keystrokes for different applications).

Here's the website:

hope this helps
