It is basically a computer that functions as both TV and internet access point. For family movie nights I pipe the picture through an LCD projector to a bare white wall in our family room – makeshift cinema screen! I have an old All-In-Wonder remote w/ USB dongle that I mapped w/ keyboard shortcuts for Miro. Remote has all of the basic functions and works great for kids when they are ‘video podcast surfing’ Miro. I also rigged up my Motorola e680i with anyremote ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/anyremote ) so I can control Miro and XMMS via Bluetooth with my cellphone – an UberGeek move to control the remote. : )
