[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 839707, member: 53582"] Hi all, I'm sitting in a cafe killing time so figured I'd use the time to "blog" on what I've been doing lately with regard to making my htpc accessible from anywhere. .. Now that I've got port forwarding sorted I can access 4TR remotely to view the epg, plus schedule, cancel & delete recordings which is great. I can use aMPdroid as a remote locally plus steam live TV, movies, TV Series & music to my phone - unfortunately aMPdroid doesn't support 4TR so i can't steam recorded tv to my phone (wtf??? how bad is that?? lol). To round things out I'm using VoxCommando to control my htpc by voice - I've installed the pocket audio (microphone) ap on my phone which cost $2.44 (cheap mic!) - this combo is awesome - want to watch a movie, or listen to music etc ? just say "find movie ###, play artist ###, play some easy listening, play song ###, show news, weather, music videos " etc etc, great for when I'm on the deck and can't see the screen or if the tv is turned off - OK, I don't watch movies with the screen turned off too often but you get the idea ! :) Plus its just cool :-) Now i need to find time to try WebMediaPortal out to see if it'll stream recorded tv from 4TR to my phone - not that I really need that functionality, I just want to get it working. :) MySky? Isn't that the name of a dinosaur??? +for any Android users, if you haven't tried the TouchPal keyboard I recommend giving it a go - it's great & best of all it's free :) i definitely don't miss my iPone 4.
