Editor's review of TV Remote Controller (ARM/XScale)
stars
- "TV Remote Controller (ARM/XScale)"
- Version reviewed: TV Remote Controller (ARM/XScale) 5.7
A geek's dream software, this little utility turns a Pocket PC into a universal remote capable of controlling a wide variety of home electronics.
This software comes with an extensive list of supported devices, but allows users to create their own presets with a simple Learning feature. It supports a standard remote-control format called CCF, with a huge variety of additional device profiles available for download online. The program rises above the pack with a voice-activated feature, allowing users to control their devices with voice commands.
Additionally, the tool's interface is well-designed, with all functions presented in an accessible way. It supports seven languages, including French, German and Japanese. The trial version comes with an irritating registration reminder, which appears periodically to interrupt operation. However, the software as a whole is powerful and easy to use, and we would happily recommend it to any techie looking to consolidate remote controls.

Version: TV Remote Controller (ARM/XScale) 5.7
"Great software, wish it was free ..."
Pros: + Relatively Cheap
+ Loads CCF files (remote control files containing the graphical layout and the codes for a specific remote, ready to go)
+ Learns codes (from another remote, but I haven't used that function)
+ Works (I used it with a HP iPAQ Pocket PC, the h1915 and a CCF-file)
+ Sends macros
Cons: (-) you can use the demo version only 15 times.
(-) nag-screen every 3 minutes in demo version.
(-) cannot replace hardware, so it could be that your PDA only functions as a remote when it's very close to your equipment...

Version: TV Remote Controller (ARM/XScale) 5.7
"easy to use, needs better graphics"
Pros: It's easy to "learn" remote commands with this application if there isn't already a aprofile for your device. Having one pocket PC is better than having four remotes.
Cons: The overly colorful graphics are a bit of a drag. I'll have to spend some time making it look nicer
