Well I think I've found the cheapest way to remote control your HTPC
First off, either make or buy this IR receiver (to buy is only £8 delivered ) Get it here
I bought one as the parts alone would have cost more
Then use WinLIRC to learn the remote codes and then Girder to assign the codes to do things
Of course you'll need an old remote control that you're not using for anything else but then you're set
Hope this is helpful for people who are on a tight budget
