After putting this project off for sometime, I have not forgotten it.
I have decided on the profile builder file system and what the useless color buttons on the remote will do.

The profile file system will use a xml style system, profiles will have an option for key toggling for typing and the color buttons will be used for toggling multiply profiles for one program.

Customized WinTV Remote Settings

Recently I’ve gave my old media center PC (HTPC) a new home beside the TV. Since I no longer use it as my primary computer, it is only fitting for it to take it’s rightful place beside the TV for now on.

HTPC’s where mostly popular as a new subject in computer marketing in the early 2000s’, but was a failure due to it’s unfriendly and difficulties to use.

(It’s a computer you can watch TV with and play your media with your entertainment system.) Great idea right? Well yes, but the fact it is a computer and not a high tech VCR means that nothing is simple.
