hey guys. i'm loving the pronto 7000... but i had a question. i'm using a dedicated pc in my home theater to do things like listen to mp3s, and, more importantly... function as my DVR/PVR instead of getting something like TiVo or ReplayTV.

here's my question... is there anyway I can use the pronto instead of a mouse to control these things?

the software i am running on the pc is called Sage TV (version 4). right now i have to use a wireless mouse to surf through all this... but it sure would be nice to be able to use the pronto exclusively.

i do know that most keyboards/mice use RF... so that may not be an option. however, could i in theory get an IR keyboard/mouse/receiver, and then just have the PC in the same room as me and use the Pronto like that?

my personal preference would be to store my PC in a separate room and be able to control it from a different room using the Pronto.

anyone tried this or know how i might go about exploring this?
