Background for the application: You can read the original thread mentioned above to get an idea why people wanted an application like the one I am releasing. In a few words: since you can access the Dreambox (or any other satellite-receiver based on Enigma or Enigma2) through your local network or through Internet, there are many things you can do remotely (at work for instance) such as handling timer-events, read EPG etc. The ideal way of doing it, especially if you don’t have access to a PC, is to use a handheld device. It was brought to our attention, that there are plenty of applications to do what mentioned above already available for download on the Appstore for iPhone.
The Dreambox is a series of Linux-powered DVB satellite, terrestrial and cable digital television receivers (set-top box), produced by German multimedia vendor Dream Multimedia. It’s “kind of” of open-source which has led many “teams” to develop so called “images” for this receiver as an alternative to the original one furnished by Dream Multimedia. In addition, many other hardware manufactures have produced their own receivers (some of them are actually clones while others are not) using the same concept of the Dreambox i.e. Linux-powered. The Dreambox has evolved during the years and many models are present on the market. The first ones are/were using a firmware called “Enigma” but, more or less, with the introduction of High Definition TV, a new firmware was released, namely “Enigma2″. One of the “revolutionary” features of the Dreambox was that you can connect it to your local network and this opened up a whole new word compared to ordinary satellite-receivers. To get further information, just google for Dreambox or look it up at Wikipedia.

PS: If the SIP catches the Letter-Keys, first try to disable any T9 in the SIP. If the problem is still there, try to use another SIP!

WIFI Remote Access is a pocket pc software which will allow you to explore the content of your Windows Phone directly from your computer, through a WIFI connection without installing any client software on the computer! All you need is to open your web browser, and type the IP address of your phone (which is displayed on your phone screen). You will then be able to browse your data, pictures, and music and send files from your computer to your device. You can see pictures and listen music on your computer directly from the web interface. It also features a registry editor, for people who like to tweak their Windows Mobile device. Users can also browse pics using 3D XBAP (XAML Browser Application) / WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) UI. You can also upload files via this interface.
Dikeytus is a client/server application which enables you to turn your smart phone into a remote control of your computer. From the client you can start the execution of user defined actions on the server. In some ways you can compare Dikeytus with the remote control of your TV-set. Contrary to such a remote control, Dikeytus is much more flexible. On a remote control you can not change the layout or add any functionality.
In Dikeytus you simply rearrange the layout or add a widget if you need any additional functionality. Remote controls are mostly determined to control just one device e.g. TV-sets. In Dikeytus you can group your widgets on several panels. This gives you the freedom to create one panel for each task you want to do. You can create one panel to control your music player and another panel to control your web browser.
Dikeytus is designed to be as user friendly as possible and to give the user a maximum of flexibility and freedom to get things done.
PocketNow recently featured an article about Mobile Media Center. Its a new Pocket Pc freeware application that brings Windows Media Center on Windows Mobile. You can use it to listen to music, watch pictures, play videos and keep up with RSS feeds/podcasts/vodcasts, all on your Windows Mobile device. Its quite a finger friendly application but i think it need a bit more work with the user interface and I am sure over time it will evolve out to be a great application.
