I have Apple TV up and running on my Hackintosh HTPC but I need to use my keyboard for it to work. I want to be able to use my Ati Remote Wonder remote controll with this application. It's the only one that's not working, even Front Row works great with this remote? Are there any hacks I can do to make it work?

Desperatly seeking help!

Well I made some apple scripts and saved them as apps so now it works ok.. a little lag while they execute but nothing to annoying. But after the first key press back row is not in focus so the mouse pointer appears and I had to use global settings for the remote to make it work.

Anyone had any luck changing the volume using Apple TV?

helios, I can't help you with your ATI Remote directly but in case you need alternatives, I'm using the Nintendo Wiimote & the Sony PS3 BD Remote as remotes for my HTHackintosh. Here's more info:

Thanks for the info! I have ordered a Manta IR receiver so that I can use a genuine apple remote with my hackintosh.. i hope that combo will work smoother

It works great with front row! haven't tried mocking with apple tvs front row yet..

helios, can you do me a favor and test whether the Manta TR-1 is detected by that Remote Buddy software as a supported IR receiver? Thanks.
