Media Remote Assistance

[shudder]

I have my computer linked up to me 42" TV and I would like to be able to go skip, pause control volume etc via remote control.

Can anybody offer any advice, these are the items I have seen so far:

diNovo? Media Desktop® Laser
- £75

http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MTE5Nw==
- £60

I prefer the look of the second one as it has a standard looking remote control but would also like a wireless ketboard and mouse that can run from a distance of 5 metres.

Thanks in advance.....
