Abstract
Most of the effort of building and configuring an HTPC is concentrated on selecting the most suitable hardware, installing the correct software, and then spending countless hours perfecting the configuration of the system. Only after this great effort has been expended, the machine is working perfectly (or as well as it can—some hobbyists never stop tinkering!), and everyone has settled into their home theater seating and is waiting for the movie to start, does it become apparent that something is missing. Getting out of your chair to start or stop a movie, or to change channels is so old-fashioned—no serious HTPC owner can truly have the ultimate multimedia experience without a remote control.
