I was wondering if the built-in IR sensor can be used with other remotes. My attempts so far have failed with lirc. Wondering if anyone else had any success and tips. Also assuming that the IR sensor can't be used with the mini, what usb/remote have people liked for the mini which comes with an IR sensor? I was thinking of picking up a cheap MCE remote with sensor.<br>

<div>I use a Microsoft MCE remote and receiver with my mac mini - works great. Mine is also running Ubuntu. It sometimes makes me smile to use a Microsoft remote to control an Apple computer running Linux. Makes you grateful for standards!</div>
