Is there any easy way of remotely changing the channel using GB-PVR, or would one need to be developed?
F5ing in Girder is fidgety and awkward and rarely successful for channels like 917 for example.
I ask because I'm working on a bit of software (possibly plugin, possibly stand-alone) that uses current streaming software and would enable anyone with a good enough network speed to watch TV on any computer in the house (I can already do this, but need to find a way to easily change channel). I was thinking of actually creating an entire remote 'frame' for GB-PVR so that it can be operated as if you were there (a bit like remote desktop, but far simpler, using screenshots of the menu each time it changes).
