[QUOTE="JohnHind, post: 1148190, member: 143118"] Is there a good solution to using the MediaPortal client on a Windows tablet (over WiFi to a server on another machine)? Initially I was very impressed with how well this looked and worked, then I discovered there was no way to scroll the programme grid and other lists. In the end, the only way was to use a Bluetooth keyboard which rather spoils the point. The problem is that the program does not respond to the standard touch scrolling gestures (two-finger drag) and the on-screen keyboard does not have arrow keys. This is a huge pity, since this would be an ideal setup for portable TV around the house. The other scenario that would be really cool is the ability to use the tablet to control media playing on the server. For example in a home cinema setup you could have the projector attached to the server but display the program grid and touch controls on a tablet used as a super remote control.
