I am new to both the idea of using my Palm V to control all of my AV equipment, and this forum. Looks like I picked a good time to drop in. Hello everyone. I downloaded the OmniRemote trial and the ordesktop trial and so far I have managed to train my Palm to control my TV's on/off function, VOL up/down, and MUTE, with three large thumbsize buttons that work great inside of 5 feet or so from the screen. I guess thats about as far as i can go without purchasing both pieces of software. I am curious...I have a DVD changer, a Dolby surround reciever, a VCR, a TV and a digital cable box to control. Will I really be able to control them all from the Palm? Also - can I create a hot key or a macro that will turn all of my devices on / off, by pressing one button or sliding my finger up the touchpad...Or am I on the wrong track and would be better served if I bought a pronto? Any thoughts?
