Disklavier

Hey Kevin,

That's excellent, I have been thinking of a way to do that but using another PC and a remote, but that's all too clunky and not worth the bother lol.

What sort of protocol does that TiVo box use? In Australia we have a weird poor mans version as we only have 5 FTA channels (so why bother etc) and the paytv mobs have their own closed system etc... so not sure if it will work etc..

I wonder if an Xbox 360 can use the same sort of thing, it has the option to connect to a pc running Tervisity and other programs (I try and not use the normal media centre crap)...

Cheers

Philip

I often leave the piano playing random songs.  My wife and I find ourselves sitting on the couch trying to figure out what song it is that we are hearing...  I've left the PRC-100 remote on the piano, and we don't have a laptop running DKVBrowser around...so I needed something else to control the piano from the comfort of my couch...So, I came up with this:

It almost took as long to make the video and upload it as it did to write the code for this (although heavily re-using the code from DKVBrowser). ..
