Hi!Does anybody knows if I can use my universal remote I got with my universal dock to control "Remote" app on my iPhone. If I'm already using the "Remote" app (for example. using it to listen to the music on my pc) when i press play/pause on my remote it starts "Music" (previusly iPod) app on my iPhone and I can hear simultaneously music on my iPhone and on my PC.If you're asking why I need this, it's because I would like to control my iTunes music with universal remote while my iPhone is docked. Since universal remote can only be used with iTunes on a Mac i would like to do something similar by doing what I described.

Best universal remote control app/hardware

Wish ios devices had the hardware built in to control tv's and such.
Whats the best universal remote control app and hardware combo for ipad or ipodtouch? Id be interested in one with the easiest setup, and easy to use ui for my parents. It'd have to control as many of these as possible; tv, dvd player, vcr (dont kno why that things still there), original xbox, wii, and sound system (which has different channels for each peice of hardware plugged into it, if nothing else, this might make it complicated).
So im looking into the options about this, and might be interested in getting my parents an apple tv too. Probabaly will get them an ipad instead of ipod touch, unless they want something smaller like a normal remote.
Thanks for suggestions.

Universal Remote App for 3G or 3GS

I am looking to use one of my old phones as a dedicated universal remote and wanted to get some input of anyone who has had first hand experience with this type of use.
I have looked at several different apps already so I am a little familiar with what is out there. This is my current set-up and what I want to use the app for:
1. Onkyo TX-SR606
2. Sony KDL-46Z4100
3. 2006 Mac Mini with upgraded CPU to a Core 2 Duo 2.16ghz
4. Plex
My primary use would be watching movies/TV shows through the Plex interface and as such control of Plex is a must. I know that total control of the Onkyo and Sony should not be a problem, but what about the Mac Mini? Do any of the current software apps allow for total control of turning on and off the Mini? Also, I have 'Remote Buddy' on the Mini so would these apps be able to integrate with RB and allow for control of various software applications on the Mini?
I do not watch much TV so

Is it possible to use an iPod touch to control a TV? I just need the ability to turn the TV on/off and volume. Does such an app exist?
