How to Use a Normal IR Remote With an Xbox

It is possible to hook up any type of remote control to an Xbox. To do so, however, you will need to purchase a Infrared Receiver Dongle. This dongle comes with an Xbox DVD-Remote. Once you connect it to the Xbox, it is easier to control the Xbox by using the remote control instead of a controller. The remote also helps turn the Xbox into a multiple media center.
