I'd download Movix .83 and add the dss library .rpm file so Movix can read unencrypted dvd's(u need winiso to change the .iso).
Then once you burn the .iso boot from cd and use the install.pl script to put movix on your harddrive. You can navigate your media quite easily, with no mouse. So you only need a wireless keyboard, unless you just prefer to have a mouse.
If you're computer supports booting from usb, you can do that(boot movix from usb) and save yourself the hassle of making the fat16 partition for Movix. It works just as well as booting from cd, when you want to boot windows just remove the usb jump drive and voila!

Thanks, tho' :emo:
Maybe I was a little hasty with the 'I don't care if it's expensive' comment. I plainly do.
Does your older cheaper version work from across the other side of the room, like - also have you dropped it and found that it still wurks?
mine aren't bluetooth, like, so they don't work properly from the other side of the room (this room is huge tho'). They wurk fine upto about 10-15ft away, like.
A bluetooth one should work fine from pretty much anywhere in your house tho' cause the range is loiyke 20 metres or something else.
Ahh, didn't know bluetooth keyboards even existed, noice one. They sound like what I need.
I think this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/118547
Or this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/94460
Or something else.

either of those would do what you want, like, cheaper ones probably would too.

Cheers, just trying to keep it as simple as possible tho'.
My set-up works fine now as it is, wrt watching suff direct off the PC via the telly. I just gotta keep going back and forth the PC to change what I'm watching.
Re: How long have u been here?
Oh yeah, I've also got to sort it so that my PC has the telly and the monitor running off it so I don't have to keep switching the blue cable twixt the two. Might need a bit of hardware, like, as from memory, I think I've only got one blue port at the back of my computer.
Sorry if that's a bit technical.
