Can I use all PC programs with the remote desktop application for ipad?
Question by who1s269: Can I use all PC programs with the remote desktop application for ipad?
I have a program called My Hava on my PC...sort of like Slingbox where I can watch TV.
If I buy the remote desktop application for my ipad, can I actually watch the hava payer tv through my ipad?
Or is the application limited to viewing files and small stuff like that?
FYI I understand what a remote desktop client is. I use it dailey at work to work on remote servers. Not surre where that comment came from.

You can run your programs but normally these utilities only show normal screens, not overlays (TV/video) or Direct3D (games)

Can you record Xbox 360 footage with a slingbox Pro-HD or Apple TV to a macbook pro or is there a cheaper way?
Question by lallo188: Can you record Xbox 360 footage with a slingbox Pro-HD or Apple TV to a macbook pro or is there a cheaper way?
I want HD footage, to a macbook pro, this is the best way i found, but my friend said I could do it with Apple TV, is this ture?
Or are their better ways?
Does any one know of a external USB or Firewire that can do the same thing beecause I don't need to watch TV on a Macbook Pro, heck I don't watch TV on a televison anyways!
THANK YOU

The Hauppauge HD-PVR is by far the best option for capturing HD video onto your pc or mac period. It can capture 1080i HD video with surround sound. It is a little pricey however at 8 on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1212-Definition-Personal-Recorder/dp/B0018LX0DY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233979101&sr=8-1 but I have 2 of them for doing HD cable on my HTPC and I love it. Although it's pricey it captures really nice HD video with surround sound in H.264 format. Even at 0 its still the cheapest option currently on the market for capturing HD video. It really is your only/best option. Plus it works on windows and Mac. Oh, PS Apple TV does not capture video and I'm not sure if the slingbox Pro-HD software for mac is out of beta yet. Basically go with the HD-PVR you wont be disappointed.

Q&A: Is there any way to hook up tv’s to cable wirelessly, or without a hard wire?
Question by mynameinlowercase: Is there any way to hook up tv's to cable wirelessly, or without a hard wire?
I am buying an older home without cable wired for every room. I was wondering if there was some sort of device (maybe like a slingbox), that would allow me to hook up a tv to my cable wirelessly without having to rewire the home to bring in cable boxes to each room.

Q&A: What is the “Slingbox” type unit called that works on a TV with an antenna instead of a computer?
Question by Dad needs help: What is the "Slingbox" type unit called that works on a TV with an antenna instead of a computer?
I have a TV in a room where I can't receive my DirecTv service. The service tech said he saw a unit on a DirecTv box in another house he serviced that allowed the owner to watch the same show on another TV in another room, that didn't have a DirecTv box. The other TV just needed an antenna to use the device on the TV with the DirecTv, but unfortunately he doesn't know what the device is called. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Dad Needs Help!!

Hi Dad,
It is a wireless audio video transmitter. They aren't too expensive and are widely available.
Here is an example of one - http://www.shoptronics.com/2wiauvisebrt.html?gclid=CK3E_uahnpICFQm4sgodxzvDSw

How can I remotely control a VCR/TV Tuner over the internet?
Question by mikeseney: How can I remotely control a VCR/TV Tuner over the internet?
I need to be able to control a VCR at a remote location over the internet. I need full control, including changing channels. I do not want a "Slingbox". For example, I have a GUI on my screen with buttons that control a VCR at my office. I already have a way of streaming the audio and video to my pc. I just need a way to control the functions of the VCR.

Buy a cheap USB to Infrared adapter.
Download some TV 'remote control' software from somewhere and use it to emulate your VCR remote using the USB Infrared device and your PC.
Then use VNC to access your PC remotely and the TV 'remote control' software through that. (Use a VERY secure password and ideally limit access to your Office IP address or something!)
(Oh, and if the IR USB device doesn't point in the same direction as the VCR, then a little tin foil to reflect the light in the right direction can help!)

5 Minutes with Harold Feld: Harold Asks Hollwood to (Selectively) Control the Drama
On the Eve of Thanksgiving, Mr. X Parte tells Harold that the MPAA has made a lengthy FCC filing on their waiver request for Selectable Output Control. Clearly, Harold has touched a nerve because Hollywood calls him a liar. Harold addresses the substance of MPAA's filing and explains why it, despite being 37 pages, still doesn't make a showing of the required evidence needed for the requested waiver.
Can I Plug A Second Modem Directly Into My Verizon FiOS ONT Device, Outside My Home?
Question by dankees98: Can I Plug A Second Modem Directly Into My Verizon FiOS ONT Device, Outside My Home?
I need to plug in my Slingbox to my new Verizon FiOS, however, my TV and Verizon router are like 30 feet apart, however, my TV is near to my Verizon ONT - can I just plug a second router into the ONT and then plug my Slingbox into that newly installed, second router?

Answer by rhsaunders
I doubt it, but check with Verizon on this. The preferred scheme would be to use a router, with an internet cable of suitable length.
