Sorry for asking all the n00b questions but, I would like to know where I could find a Freeware TV remote controller for PPC.

I do not believe so. I had looked at one point and found nothing.

I have nothing to report on this app, other than You get what you pay for.

If you want to use your Axim as a True Universal Remote Control, get pdaWIN (and an Ir Extender Card if you have an X5).

If you have an X3, the Ir is strong enough to use as a Remote Control without boosting.

Anybody know if pdawin works with a Tivo, or do you have to program it all yourself?

One thing I don't like about pdawin is how cheesy it looks.
McAxim - I'm loving it!

pdaWIN will work with any Infra Red remote you have. You may possibly have to learn some codes but the easiest way would be to go to Remote Central's File Section and search for Tivo.....I'd be willing to bet there's tons of Tivo CCFs to choose from. As well as any other piece of equipment you may have.

Cheesey is as cheesey does. If you're willing to put a little work into it, a CCF can be an amazing thing. But like anything amazing, it's not just gonna fall in your lap.....you gotta wine it and dine it to perfection.

I tried it a long time ago (with my X5) and it sucked. It didn't even work at all.

Hey all,

I've tried PDAwin and had zero problems with the pre-configured settings for my TV and VCR as well as using the learn feature.

Granted, it's not prettiest app ever written, but it's easy to use and with my X30H, I was flipping channels from 15 ft away, no problem.

On the flipside, I'm just about to start working on my own PPC remote that'll be free for all to use, should it actually work.
