HTPC hooked up to living room hdtv, Can someone help me figure out how to use VNC to control it?
So, I have my htpc connected to my living room tv but I dont have a way of using it when sitting on the couch(the keyboard cable/mouse are too short). I also have a cheap Dell laptop. Apparently there is a way to control my pc which is connected to my lcd tv, through my laptop by using VNC? Anyone know how to go about setting this up?
You need another computer to run the VNC client on (the VNC server runs on the computer you're controlling). A wireless (or Bluetooth) keyboard and mouse might be what you really want.
