Reddit mentions of SANOXY 2.4GHz Wireless Air Keyboard and Air Mouse with 3D Gaming Support for PC and Android

So, it MUST be in progressive mode (there's a "progressive" button at the top). I'm not sure when progressive mode is made active, but it looks like that mode isn't added to each game until it is fully archived (ballstreams uses the DVR flash (many 3mb files) to instantly archive). Once you start loading the video in progressive mode, you'll see the x GB file available for download.

Though I prefer this method, you have to wait some time before its available. Last night, I found myself just using Flash DVR with my computer hooked up via HDMI. I have a [remote] (http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY%C2%AE-Wireless-Remote-Control-Mouse/dp/B001M56DI0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1383257750&sr=8-3&keywords=remote+pc) (small version) that I use to skip forward and back 10 seconds (L/R arrows), play/pause (L mouse click), and control the mouse to do 30 sec, 2 min, 10 min, 17 min, or 30 min jumps. Worked like a charm last night and I was able to efficiently get through about 4 full games and watch 4th quarters of about 5 others. If I could download the file in progressive mode, I would be even more efficient (because skips/jumps would happen instantly in VLC, but they take about 3-4 sec in Flash DVR), but I didn't feel like waiting that long. But this is more info than you asked for.

I have Raspbmc running using this remote from Amazon.

You might also be able to do it on Windows, but I've always used Linux. Linux is more customizable, so if it's an old outdated computer then you can configure it to basically only run XBMC without all of the other stuff in the background, and hopefully you'll still get decent performance even though the computer is old and slow. Not having all of the background programs running and slowing it down really makes a difference. I'm doing this with an old laptop from 2007 with screen problems, and it works for me.

> Would this work with any old TV like a CRT type?

Yes, but it requires an adapter. Most flat screen LCD/Plasma/LED TVs have a VGA port (blue computer monitor port) built in. That makes it easy because you can just hook up the TV to your laptop as if it is a regular computer monitor. An old CRT TV probably only has the red, white, and yellow RCA hookups and the coaxial cable. That means that you are going to need some sort of an adapter, like this. If you have the red, yellow, and white inputs, then you are good to go with regard to video. If you don't, then you will have to get an RF modulator to convert the video to coax.

If you are unsure about your ability to get it running, then it would be worth trying first before buying this stuff. You should be able to get it running using your current external monitor without having to buy anything. Once you get it running, then you can buy the adapter if you want. It is only needed for hooking the computer up to the TV.

After that, you are basically good to go but you will be using your computer's speakers for sound. If you want to use your TV speakers for sound, that is easy to do. Just get something like this and plug one end into your headphone jack and the other end into the TV.

And if you want a remote control, here is the exact remote that I'm using. Any USB remote should work. I basically just chose the cheapest one I could find. I kind of like it, though, because it allows me to control the mouse as well.

I have the computer running through my regular stereo receiver via HDMI and I use this remote with XBMC and it works just fine. I also use the official XBMC remote on my phone and my Nexus 7 but the regular remote is generally more convenient.

In my bedroom I have the same remote and Logitech Z 5500 Speakers and they are really awesome but apparently discontinued.

The cheap remote worked without any setup at all in Linux. But there is no button for the context menu, one of these days I am going to get around to figuring out how to map a key for it.

Hey, thanks! Do you think this is worth a crap?

If you enable USB wakeup in BIOS, something like this or any other usb device potentially could. You can then follow this guide to configure your device to do the waking up.

You wish you had a remote for your computer? Why not just get a remote and IR receiver?

$7 USB IR Remote on Amazon

Yes, you could use a laptop to serve as a media center pc. A laptop will probably have an HDMI out port, which you can hook up into HDMI in on the TV. You could also use a tower PC, which would [probably] give you more connection options such as VGA and DVI. That's it, really. Just access the dropbox folder on the PC and play the videos. If this PC will be on a network and there are other PC's, you could access that [or network attached storage] instead of dropbox; not relying on internet connectivity.

Something like this might work for control, but it's best to use mouse & keyboard.
