Control windows with remote control

hi,

im not 100% sure if this question belongs hear so I apologise in advance.

I just recently purchased a Tv-in (lifeview DVB-T Duo) card so I can record TV programs etc on my pc which came with a remote control.
I just want to know if i can program the remote control to work with other programs in windows for watching films like PowerDVD and what else is capable.

Thanks,

Hi,
A piece of software called girder would do that for you, it supports a hell of a lot of remotes and may just do the trick for you.

Hope it helps.

P.S dont think its a freebie

 

You could also try some 3rd party PVR software, such as gbpvr, or mediaportal, that have plugins to use any program on your computer via the remote (and a wireless keyboard in some cases).

 

thanx for the replies, ill have a look into it.

i didnt have any luck so I opted for the easy option....bought an Ati Wonder remote from ebay

I should be receiving it with 2-3 days.
