As Boxee Box Remote showed us a distance of a media center (or HTPC) only need a few basic buttons. Unfortunately, Boxee distance is not sold separately but GlideTV Navigator can be a good alternative. This is a small remote that fits in your hand, connected via a wireless USB dongle and lets you control all basic functions of a media center. GlideTV called a "bed mice" which may actually be a fairly accurate description. It has a trackpad in the middle and some (media center oriented) push him around.
