I recently purchased tv remote control 5.7 from handango.com, I installed it & registered it. However, everytime I try to work it(pushing any button) the prgoram crashes. How can I fix this? CaN I fix this? Does anyone have this program & if so does it run good on your 6700?

ok I went back and checked and the program is unsupported by the 6700 so people dont purchase this program it doesnt work on the 6700 the one that I see that does work is Novi Remote Control II it works but its a whopping $37 and some change. unless someone knows how to get it cheaper(FREE)?????

well I could be wrong but when you say novii remote control II I think you are referring to 2 separate programs. novii has 2 remotes the classic and super duper. WinCESoftâ€™s Remote Control II is a great application. I've used all 3 but if I remember correctly remote control II supports landscape mode. all 3 are cool gadgets to have but you'll only get a few feet of distance with your phone. doesn't work as good as a real remote. hope I don't sound like an idiot.

no we are talking about the same application. I had bought tv remote control and later went back and checked and it was unsupported by 6700. So then I looked again and found Novi remote Control II which was supported by 6700 but I had already wasted my money on the other program!!! sadly, so I download a trial verison of novi and it works great. The ranges is between 2-4 feet. which is good for me but the only problem is getting it for free!!!

When you purchased the original program did they list the 6700 has a supported device? If so, maybe they could work out something with you on the second application.

True with most devices, but its a two-way street. If the IR reciever is good enough, you can get some pretty good distance. Case and point, I use Novii Deluxe for my Nikon D70. I can get a little over 15ft away from my camera before it stops working.

wow. i use the 6700 to control my tv tuner, dvd surround sound, lights, thermostat, and many others and none get 15 ft.

wish they received as well as your camera.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, but I like to brag about my success w/ my camera. With most devices I get about 4-6 ft. I almost peed myself when my camera just kept going.
