I don't know but I would guess the HP remote must use bluetooth? I do have a bluetooth usb thing. So if the HP remote uses bluetooth could I plug my usb bluetooth dongle in and use the HP remote? Or will I need some software outside of win 7 to use it?
My husband has a Win 7 pc custom built by Fry's. Is there such a thing as a remote control (I guess it would need a usb dongle) to control it? Like to watch Netflix or Xfinity TV on the computer while he's in bed. He has a large monitor and then I could get him to get the pc off the kitchen table and upstairs. I tried using google but just got hits for remotely accessing from another computer. Didn't know exactly what to search for. His HP laptop came with a remote but we've never used it.
This probably belongs in the hardward forum?
