TV Remote Control
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?

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.
