Netbook as a Remote aka Tremote
fhl:
If I buy the MC Remote and connects it to the remote pc, is it then possible to control the volume on the HTPC with the remote?

HTPC4ME:
yeah i tried a netbook with wifi wirelessn, and ethernet connection.. not sure if the netbook couldnt handle the large library or what but i returned both netbooks, am going with a logitech dinovo mini for now. and then eventually just going to wire in a touchscreen monitor into living room\theater area. so the library shows up instantly. only thing i can think of that will work.
HTPC4ME:
one of these may do the trick for some? if you have a way to hardwire it in\ hide cables - I'm A little leary about quality though

Merv:
And hardwire the monitor from your HTPC ? Know what you mean about quality !
HTPC4ME:
yeah.. i use to work for corporate presentations here in mn and we use to do high end. 600,000 - millions dollar conference rooms, high end theater stuff. and 90% of the remotes were tablet type, touch, amx\panga(EXPENSIVE - Back Then).. but if i knew quality was good on one of these. just hardwire it into table, could even have it Automated to raise remote - tablet out of table. Speed would be instant (cause it's connected directly to HTPC) only downfall is it would not be able to be moved from couch to couch, outside etc... unless maybe i look for a touch screen monitor that has vga inputs on it and also wifi ability... so that when outside\ or in other rooms one could just unsnap\remove the touchscreen, remove vga cable and it could be used as a wifi for remote desktop yes it would be slower when disconnected but it would still give you the ability to see the jriver interface anywhere you are in the wifi area.
I Dunno. I finally bought my htpc, waiting for it to arrive. and will see how i like the logitech mini. but im sure i will be upgrading that soon. i just love the touch idea.
