CEC

CEC stands for Consumer Electronics Control. The CEC function allows you to control up to 15 Devices. So it's perfect for controlling XBMC with the Remote control of the TV.

Since the Frodo release XBMC comes with the new libcec 2.02 which allows control of the XBMC interface over the standard TV remote that comes with your TV. As buttons are pressed the remote command is sent via the HDMI cable to your XBMC device.
