I have MS Media Center which I have displayed around the house via long VGA leads.
I control it with the HP remote. I want to buy an Ipronto because I would like to get into home automation and networking,but I am no expert.
What I would like to know is: Can I have the computer display on the Ipronto screen? Will this be using Wi-Fi? if so could I use the remote as a touch screen to control media center like I do on the main monitor with a mouse?
I know it is possible to control it with a touch screen monitor hat is hard-wired directly to the pc.
Many thanks in advance
Rob

It can be done. Install RealVNC as a service on your PC, enable firewall to allow port 5800. Then om ipronto use [Link: you.pc.ip.number]

And there you are. But memory tends to overflow and it aint fast, but it works and I use it sometimes.
