Very Simple to setup yet robust media solution. .My setup includes (PLEX, XBMC, Boxee, Hulu Desktop, AutoHotkey), using http://www.flirc.tv/ with my DirecTv remote setting AV1 to my Audio reciever and AV2 to (DirecTV Reciever 00003). It allows me to switch between the apps with a touch of a button. Thanks to Flirc since it is what makes it so easy.
Script for AutoHotkey (KillEmAll.exe is an AutoIt Script that I wrote to kill unresponding processes; not really needed)...
^!M::Run "C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe"
^!b::Run ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Boxee\BOXEE.exe"
^!x::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"
^!h::Run "%LOCALAPPDATA%\HuluDesktop\HuluDesktop.exe"
^!p::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Center\Plex.exe"
^!q::Run "KillEmAll.exe"
Now my Flirc and Remote are programmed to allow for control in all the apps with their default installs...
