I just got done installing this and it works great. I am loving windows 7 so far.

just instaled and it works great. Was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way of securing the remote access? Seems that anyone can access the remote and then schedule programs or delete recorded shows.
Thanks

Worth mentioning that since this was written Remote Potato is even easier to set up – the new tech preview doesn’t require an XMLTV file any more – all the guide data and logos etc comes directly from within windows media center.

I also need a fix for this problem. Can’t find an answer anywhere so far…
In Australia there is only over the air guide info for WMC so the suggested tool MC2XML does not work.

Well the only thing missing now is the ability to stream live TV to other machines. I know this functionality has been available via addons in past versions of MC. Its the fact6 that this feature is missing thats made me switch to a Linux based media centre.

I’ve installed RemotePotato and it’s working great, except I can’t figure out how to extract the over-the-air guide info into an XMLTV format for it to read.

Sorry about that. I can see the confusion. While Carrier Pigeon is free to download and try, you’re right that I’m asking people to purchase a license if they like Carrier Pigeon and want to continue using it.
