I am looking for software that I can use my X5 as a Remote controller for my TV. I have seen this software come pre-installed on some i-paqs but have not seen it anywhere else. Does anyone have an idea of where I could find such software?

Erm sorry to break this to you, but the x5's infared only goes about a foot so its not suitable for a remote.

Unless your TV's about a foot away...

Which would be pointless because you could just press the buttons ;) by the way, does anyone know of a free tv remote program...All i have seen are commercial

Good point! Does te X50 have a strong enough IR transmitter?

Yep, both the x3/x30 and x50 have great infared abilities

True, but you can get a CF extender such as this one:

heck, you can build an extender. My old Cassiopeia had dismally short IR range, so I built one. You just need IR LED, a phototransistor, a battery, and some resistors. I think you can get plans for one on the web, just do a search.

Thanks for the info, I suppose I could just use the remotes I have!
