That's a neat idea. I use a Wii remote tied to a $2.99 Bluetooth USB adapter, and Wiinremote (http://onakasuita.org/wii/index-e.html) on my HTPC. It works beautifully. Double clicking can be a tad inaccurate, but I've remapped the "+" button to works as a double click. Problem solved ;)

Yes, the proper UK English word for this would be "brilliant," but this is far more effort than I would want to go to in watching TV. I have to practice? :tongue:

I never read Harry Potter. I tried but just couldn't get into them.

I read them all when I was younger.  I wouldn't be caught dead reading them now.  I couldn't stand being called a nerd.

Saw this a while back and considered getting this for my sister, who is an ex-HP nut and repeat Hermione lookalike contest winner. Glad to hear it functions as well as one would hope.
