Re: REVIEW: Controlling Sky/Sky+ from the Internet

I posted a question on the cinemar forum and from a reply there it
seems it may be possible to achieve this using the "file open"
command in MLserver. It would HAVE to be a MLserver command as the
device would need to be connected a pc which would accept commands
from several clients.
I don't mind buying one to give it try, I am sure there will be a
way of getting it to talk to MLserver!!
If you ever get a chance to try it out with MLserver, I would be
grateful for any feedback.
