==========================

I know they're out there..wheres a good deal on a reciever dongle or whatever u call it to remote control winAMP etc.

and..

never seen this but why not? a remote control FROM PC.. a transmitter
to control tv etc.. this could be linked to voice control like DragonDictate
etc..

OP updated to recycle this thread.
please read first post.

Sure. Just learn the commands from the included remote. If you got a JP1 cable, you could make a device upgrade. We already have upgrades for this slightly better PC remote:

In fact, I have a spare one of these in my closet I'll sell you for even less. PM me if you're interested.

i just got these 15-133 on clearance from the shack a few months ago..

Yes, that appears to be the same one. HERE's a thread about it. Mostly technical stuff, but there are a few useful tips in there for a Non-JP1 users, especially around how the mouse and hotkeys work.

[divxdude]

by "we already have upgrade" you mean that theres files i can use to upload to the JP1 remote?

[mdavej]

Yes, if you have a JP1.3 cable. I assumed you didn't since you posted in the Non-JP1 forum.

[divxdude]

thanks,

yeah i just got these 15-133 a few months ago and ordered a cable for it
after i botched a 6131n chip addon.
life is easier now.
plus this thread was 5-6 years old and i just recycled it to avoid clutter..

That's outside the scope of these forums. You probably want to look into EventGhost. http://www.eventghost.org/

[mdavej]

Those cheap remotes can usually do 4 hotkeys for launching apps via shortcuts on your desktop. Additional commands besides the ones called by buttons on the remote do not exist. Beyond that, eferz's EventGhost is the way to go.
