Enjoying TTL from the sofa

[sheroo]

Picture the scenario:-

Cup of tea in hand, TTL full screen buffered and ready to go, click to play and retire to the sofa....

Phone rings...

Now what I want to do is press pause on my pc remote take the call and then press play to resume once the call is over. But I can't control the flash player using a remote control. So I actually have to get up off the sofa, click pause etc etc.

Does anyone know if its possible to control youtube or flash player vids with a remote? I've searched long at hard and come up with nothing.

Please help me enjoy TTL from the sofa.

Just thought there may be some s/w out there that would allow me to control flash player with a standard mce remote or equivalent.

Oooo.... interesting, what brand and model is this? I am close to almost buying a combination keyboard and trackball scroll wheel mouse.

Keysonic ACK-540RF

It's good - survived me chuckin' it on the floor in full frustration mode. Has a few scuffs now but still works.

Thanks for the info on KeySonic. Nice range, helps open up more options for a sofa/bed/floor keyboard-mouse, now onto finding local stock.
