Xbox 360 media remote

Update to my last post:

If you have the current version of the Xbox 360 Dashboard, follow this command path -- System Settings > Console Settings > Remote Control

You will see 2 options listed: "Both Remotes" (allows you to use either the Xbox 360 Media Remote or a Windows Media Center Remote) and "Xbox 360 Media Remote" (sets the system to accept input from only an Official Xbox 360 Media Remote, or an Officially Licensed
3rd party equivalent.) Make sure your system is set to "Xbox 360 Media Remote" then exit out of the System Settings menus and try the remote again.

I hope that helps.

go to console settings and check to see which media remote you have selected as that might be the problem

I've had the Media Remote for a few years now, so I had to think back, but I had the same issue when I first bought mine! Back in those days, the choices in the system settings were either "Xbox 360 Media Remote" or "Windows Media Center Remote" and for
Gord only knows what reason, MS defaulted that setting to "Windows Media Center Remote"! As soon as I changed it to the "Xbox 360 Media Remote" setting, it worked! Still not sure why MS insists on defaulting it to the WRONG setting, though. That's always
struck me as odd and illogical. :-/
