See, this right here is yet another example of what I meant, what if you want to access it with WMC, how would you do it? They have a button on their remote, and that's the key, their remote. What if you don't want to use a regular TV? That's where I guess I was the first to go in too deep, and I guess I caused people to leave. I'm just saying, for those that still wander, this is the kind of thing that I kind of got a funny feeling might be too much, but I wasn't sure how far is too far. The guid lines didn't really talk about that kind of thing.
