Changing it to be a control interface would appeal to many more users (I<br>
would think)<br>

Not to me. I already have a remote and don't feel any need to use my cell phone as one.<br>

It does for me, having one less remote control that works from more places is of great appeal for me. Each user could then have their own personal remote.<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about a webpage (maybe AJAX) that's linked to the telnet controls, that could be called from any browser on any device.... I've not yet looked into interfacing a webpage into telnet but expect it can somehow be done? Perhaps someone here can comment?<br>

Votes and Comments welcomed! <br></blockquote></div><br>MythDroid (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/mythdroid/">http://code.google.com/p/mythdroid/</a> - it's not on the market) worked pretty well on my Motorola Droid phone in 0.21, but it doesn't work with 0.22 though there's a note on the webpage saying changes to make it work with 0.22 are minimal. I'm not sure how often this is updated, I might take a look at it myself at some point.<br>
<br>One other problem I had with it is that I have a menu to select recording group show up as you enter watch recordings and a menu when you exit recordings (as I usually delete right after watching something it's convenient) and mythdroid didn't handle those correctly. Other than that it was good, even if for me in more of a "look what my new phone can do" kind of way.<br>
<br>There's another one that is in the market but it didn't work at all.<br>
