Still Works

Wow… didn’t expect after all these years for it to install and work perfectly. Well, it did! I’m super happy with the app despite it’s dated looks and will continue to use it until I can’t!

Great remote for windows media center

This is a really good app, just what I was looking for.

Remember to install the "server program" on your windows machine that you have media center installed on.

Works well

Pretty happy with this. Kodos on the programmer. If you have Windows Media Center it's worth having.

It stopped working

It worked ok until my router gave the computer a new IP address.

I give the app the new IP address, but it will not connect to the computer.

I tried reinstalling the app, and reinstalling the SW on the computer. Nothing has helped.
