Sage w/MCE Keyboard
I'm running WinXP Pro on a PC I built. I purchased a MCE Wireless keyboard in hopes that it would run my PC and Sage. Will this keyboard only work with MCE as Microsoft claims?

If you have XP Professsional, then all you should need is the
Rollup Driver Installer

Will this work with the IRBlaster receiver or do I need the MCE receiver?

You would need the MCE receiver if you want this to just work. You can pick up the receiver and remote for about $35. PC Alchemy.

Can the VCR buttons and other command buttons be programmed or just the volume(s) and TV button?

My bad, I didn't mean specifically the keyboard. All the buttons that are common between the remote and keyboard will be the same (Play, Stop, etc...). The Buttons like "My Videos" are hard wired to Sage's like features.
