TV Remote Control

This is the latest addition to the Touch-And-G0 app.

This turns a laptop into a touchscreen remote control for a Sky or Sky+ digibox.

It is based around the excellent USB to RF link sold by the nice people over at Dusky Controls (http://www.dusky-control.com/). They also provided a superb application with full c#.net source code which enabled me to integrate their control into Touch-And-Go.
