Re: Orb Remote PC Access

Orb works great. If you have a PV with a TV tuner built in and a decent internet connection you could be in business.

Re: Orb Remote PC Access

Is it free and are there any security risks when using a program like this..?

Re: Orb Remote PC Access

I've been using Orb for a while now. It can be a little awkward to use from the mobile phone, but it is pretty sweet that I can access my entire library from anywhere. My favorite place to use Orb is actually in combination with Winamp (not on the phone obviously). It works pretty well. Enjoy
