Hi all,
I've recentlly built a PVR and I'm having a lot of fun with it...except when I have to "tweak" it. It hidden from sight which makes getting to the keyboard and mouse a chore. I've heard of remote access softwares that allow you to take total control of a system. I also tried out the windows xp built in one, but it seems to be only for a server/client set up (and the PVR is running XP Pro).

My question is if anyone has heard of, seen, or used a program like this.

-Thanks!
