Remote Potato is the missing part of Windows 7 Media Center. You can manage and watch your recordings over the Internet from any web browser.
Record shows, watch shows, manage recordings, browse the EPG. Home late from the office? No problem, just open a web browser and tell
your Media Center PC to record that sitcom, so it's waiting for you when you get in. On holiday? Stream that sitcom you recorded direct to your hotel room!
Remote Potato's main interface is rendered in Silverlight, for a completely interactive experience - no page refreshes, no waiting around, and all in any major
web browser, on a PC or a Mac! If you're using a Mobile Device, that's also supported - Remote Potato auto-detects mobile browsers and has additional skins and
interfaces for them!
This is beta software - so please check our
