Hi guys,

Do any of you know o a product (preferably on Aria) so I can control my PC with a remote control, like HP PC's?

I like watching stuff from bed and I gotta bring the mouse over and move the wireless recieve forward and it sucks..

Thanks!

it states xp, mce & vista so from that i would presume xp is ok.

This just works for controlling video / audio tracks in media player / media center, you can't actually control the mouse and keyboard with this

There is a post in home entertainment, i would link but i'm on a mobile.
it's in the style of a wii remote
steep @ 75 quid might be over kill for what you want

someone might have hacked a wii remote to the pc, i guess the sensor bar might be usb so it should be doable

Have you investigated the possibility of a big stick??? :P

haha, funnily enough I tried that! But I ruined my HP power button as a result! :(.. Now looking for a more conventional way! lol

If you can get hold of an ATI remote wonder remote control it would do what you want... you can even turn your pc off from another room as they work on RF not IR. I have one and I can change the music on my pc from downstairs!

If you have a mobile phone that runs Symbian and a USB Bluetooth dongle then there are some software solutions that give you immense capability!
