Using Windows Media Center as Client

I've been using Vista Ultimatex64 for some time now and use it as my main OS, but I still have XP installed for now. My problem is the Streamzap remote does not have a 64 driver for it. I've contacted them about it and they have said there should be one by the end of this year (not much time left now!). So I was wondering if I could use Windows Media Center as my "client", then I could use a different remote. I added the recording directories from the Sage server and the shows are there, but playback seems a little choppy. I've searched the forums but couldn't find anyone else doing this, or at least having this issue. Playback with the SageTVClient is fine, I just don't want to sit by my keyboard. Anyone have suggestions to using Windows Media center or even a compatible remote??
Thank you.

SageClient should work fine with a Windows Media Center Remote.

Doh! Didn't think that would work. Thanks stanger89
Hate to ask this but, any recommendations?
I've been looking, but none specifically say vista 64, just vista.
This is the one I'm thinking about, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16880121002
I e-mailed their support to find out if it is supported or not.
If someone knows one that works for sure, let me know please.
Thank you.

That looks like it will work, a few of the reviews mention vista 64 and at least one mentions SageTV.
I'll give Streamzap till the first of the year and if they don't have a driver by then I'll get that one. I've been waiting for months, a few more days is no big deal anymore.
Thanks for the help.
