why dont you try using J2KIP? its a online system.
or upgrade your DVR unit to one that has its own built in web server. so you can simply forward the ports on your router to what ever u like i.e same ones u setup on the box. the connect to ur ip address + port simples.
I use an old sling box classic, and also can watch freeview and my sky+ via it including full control of sky from the handset
Are there any PC remote control app? Something similar to the team viewer app for iphone or another one?
Thanks!
Gmote 2.0 is kind of a remote app, mainly for media though.
It allows you to search through your files of your pc, from your phone,
and either play them on your pc, or on your phone. Has normal, play pause volume settings.
I.e. if i have an episode of family guy on my pc, i can use my phone to play it on my pc, which means i can be lazy and not move off my bed and watch it.
Also if i fancy doing it the other way round, i can stream the episode to my phone.
Only works over a local wi-fi though.
Thanks for this Phil, it's incredible and free!
It works perfectly on my Desire and Windows 7 PC (even though the installation instructions say XP/Vista).
No problemo
Only annoying thing is i cant stream most of my videos to my phone , buts that not the app fault, its fact there mostly .avi .
Great little app for us lazy people! Very useful when your watch a series of something with 20 mins episodes and you cant cant be bothered to get up and go the next one!
If any of you use MCE try myRemote, its awesome!
GRemote Pro is also awesome, not free though...
Thanks for your suggestions but I was looking for something more than just file browsing and running applications, more like having my PC desktop displayed and the mouse controllable on my desire's display.
GRemote Pro will allow you to control your mouse cursor and type etc, but won't display your PC desktop, you're talking about remote desktop software, not remote software.
For that try the LogMeIn free beta, or PhoneMyPC.

I'm sure there's a VNC client about on Android
TeamViewer and LogMeIn are both working on an android app I believe

I can Highly recommend Gmote.
Tried it today on Ubuntu desktop machine and It's awesome!
Logmein is already available. Teamviewer is still in dev.
phonemypc is awesome. The execute Actions feature allows me (with the help of the app developer), to open a MS Access database on my pc with one button press. When that database is opened it automatically runs macros within Access.
I then press another button from my Android to close the MS Access database on my PC. You can of course remotely control your PC from your android. However, as mentioned above it is the ability to one button press an action that can be a bat file on your PC.
Excellent and well worth the money IMHO
If it's a remote desktop app you're after, have you tried RDP Client or PocketCloud?
UnifiedRemote looks pretty good.

TeamViewer beta 6.x both for desktop and phone work excellent! Pretty much exactly what I was after for months.
Initially, their front page ad scared me. Some Indian and Philippine fraudsters were using the same ad on their websites with a different edited product name which looks very similar overall (and the same blue website theme). They were phoning UK/US homes disguised as a legit business trying to get you to install such a product on your PC with lofty offers in return (free software, movies, etc). The product allowed them to basically take over your Windows machine without you realizing.

so, just networked my office pc and my living room media pc, just using ssh tunneling. all media stored on office pc, accessed via living room pc to go to tv.
both systems on ubuntu. office on 9.10, living room on 10.04
i highly recommend using remote droid (an app) for anyone else doing the same. lets me control the mouse on either computer from my couch, and the onscreen keyboard works just fine. from my couch, i drag and drop whatever files i want from one computer to the other, load any media i want, etc.
it's brilliant. i couldn't be happier
all you need if you have the setup is the remote droid jar file running. you can get it on the remote droid website. all totally free.
i heart open source

it isn't like phonemypc. phonemypc is an emulator like a remote desktop kind of deal, like logmein. this is just a remote mousepad/keyboard. you still have to look at the screen to see what you're doing. very handy though if you're on the couch. and, you don't have to do it in what i refer to as 'squintovision'.

you can do that with phonemypc too, and gmote. I just like phonemypc because you don't have to set up ports or anything, it just works.

ah. you don't need to set ports for droid remote either. just tell it the local i.p. address of the computer you want to control. very handy for me, since i use it on more than one computer. and gmote is nice, if all you want to do is goof with your libraries. i can do whatever with remote droid. move files, start up hulu, navigate the web, etc. anything you could do sitting at the computer, you can do with remote droid (as long as you can still see the screen, lol)
I can't figure out how to set this up in Ubuntu.

i always used phonemypc because on my last android phone i didn't have wifi, phone my pc uses their server as an intermediary so you just log in and you can see all your computers listed on the account, no IP's to keep track of or anything.

go to the remote droid website to get the jar file. you'll need the java runtime already installed on your computer (can get through software repository). once you have the jar file, just right click > open with > java runtime. then start up the remote droid app on your phone.
the default address was wrong for mine (127.0.1.1). you can find out your device address by going into your router (usually address 192.168.0.1, unless you've changed it) using a browser. your pc will be listed somewhere. google how to find it specifically within your router. then, plug that address into the remote droid configuration. should work like a charm
Is there a way in Ubuntu to setup a fixed IP address?
I havent used it yet, but I may install the webtop over HDMI hack soon. I am wondering what people actually use webtop for though.
Any by that I dont mean I want an answer as to what it CAN be used for, but what YOU ACTUALLY are using it for, if that makes sense.
Thanks

I mainly use it to take notes in classes, remote desktop into my desktop when i'm away, browse the Web in bed. This mostly applies to using the laptop dock though, do not sure how much this will help you.

My primary use of webtop is landscape mirroring of the phone screen. It's pretty convenient when your out and can just plug into an hdmi port and have streaming netflix on a big screen. In addition to having the phone screen, the full firefox browser is nice for youtube and streaming from my orb media server back at home.
IMO the webtop interface is what sets this phone apart from other android based devices out there and I love messing with it. Someday I'll get around to setting up full ubuntu if not just for the bragging rights. "My phone is also a complete linux computer."
I mostly use it to get remote terminal sessions into my Unix and Linux boxes at work. And for IRC, of course.

I dont use it at all.
I love my lapdock.
I use it at work to see my Ip cameras and answer mails.
At home I use it for browsing the web, checking videos and my tv series.
I edit some of my files and print them right away.
Sent from my OC'd Motorola™ Atrix®
I use Webtop along with my Lapdock to:
1. Browse the web natively
2. Do some website editing, managing and creation.
3. Work through FTP
4. Do some Word and Excel document creation and editing
5. Do some basic Photoshop editing (GIMP)
6. Do major remote desktop through LogMeIn (Website) to my workplace and family computers.
Now I don't have to haul my heavy laptop.
Cheers!
i just use hdmi hack with custom webtop; xfdesktop and xfce4-panel is the base of it anyway

Can u help me doing point 4 and 6 on your list?

I was wondering if there was a way to remote access an android device from an android device for example, accessing my fire from my phone.
I am not an expert but suspect that a wireless network would be the only way because as far as I know the 'fire only has wireless interfacing. Hopefully I am wrong though
Well I Knew that It would have to be via wifi. What Im asking though is are there apps that allow for remote access between android devices.
you would need a vnc server on the one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5vbmFpcHMudm5jIl0.
and a vnc viewer at the other:
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.androidVNC&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiYW5kcm9pZC5hbmRyb2lkVk5DIl0.
have never tried it but you could check it out
theoretically it should function
also from a pc or mac vnc viewer - there are plugins for browser
What are you trying to do? Wifi file explorer for filed. Google voice with desksms will allow you to text from your fire... etc

made a short search on the market for "remote desktop" - there are a lot of apps - maybe one of them is fitting your needs
sorry no more ideas ...

Those are usually for controlling a PC from the android device.

agree - tested some hours nightly
test pc (with browser) to kf:
there are some (vnc server on kf) which are used to control the kf from pc
basically they are working but they can't handle the screen rotation correctly
means the click points are disorted and you have no control
test galaxy tab (with browser) to kf:
nevertheless conection with the vnc server is working with javascript which i don't have on my vnc client test device
did search but java seems not to be available for android
anyone correct me if i'm wrong
still have to test with a vnc client on the galaxy tab ...
