Hey Goulin,
Yeah, it's just a stand-alone executable. You run it, and it will start in the system tray (looks like a red dot). Just right-click on the system tray icon and select "Configuration". It really does work well. The only buttons that don't seem to work with it are the TV / FM / DVD buttons, because the WF_RemCtrl app doesn't actually fully support our model of remote control.
I've got no joy with the remote waking up the PC from standby. Perhaps it's something that works with your card, but not mine ..... bummer if that's the case. You mentioned something in one of your previous messages about the Windows setting "allow this device to wake up ....". Do you have this setting (under the "Power Management" tab) for your TV card - in device manager? I don't have this setting for my card, and the MCE Standby Tool doesn't list my TV card as a device that is able to wake up the PC from standby. I would really love for it to work, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen .....
Cheers,
Craig
p.s. where are you located, by the way? I'm in Sydney. My next challenge now is working out how to get my channel / program information populating. Do you know if MediaPortal gets the program information that's broadcast with the digital TV, or do I need to get regular EPG updates?
