I must be lucky then...coz mine works fine! Maybe it's coz everything is Sony...Sony TV, DVD player, PS, Sound system...so they all are simply plug-and-play...and I can run everything off one Sony remote
I have this previous model, want to upgrade and use that one in another room. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330 I have a bit of a mixed match system I acn control everything from my one phone
with the mouse? right now i dont have a blue tooth mouse and keyboard.. that would come handy.. then you have your own media center.. and you can browse APSA on the BIG screen
Each programme has its own mapping...but most I've come across Enter is play...and spacebar is Pause. Bit of a schlep IMO...I'd rather use a remote
My hard drive plugs directly into the TV. Before that I had one of those media player gadgets. Got it cheap in BoB for about R400.
What I like aboutthe new WD Media player is it has built in WIFI so you can watch any media that ison your home network, YOUTUBE, etc and you can connect a wireless keyboard to it.
If your PC has bluetooth theres an app you can use to control the PC with your smart phone.Basicaly your phones screen becomes a trackpad like on a laptop. Luckily my room is small and if I sit right on the edge of my bed I can pause and play with my big toe he he. On a side note I just finished watching season 1 and 2 of Vikings,very lekker show.Any Avatar fans here?Book 3 of The Legend Of Korra startsnon the 27th.
I have a small PC next to the tv and sound. Then with XBMCBuntu on a flash-drive which is my media center. iPad app connects to xbmc, so I have an awesome remote My content is on a NAS though, so I get to it through the network.
