Anybody got any update on remotely accessing and controlling the box? (i want to kick of some downloads)

I used to use teamviewer for my pc - but i notice you cannot take control of the box, you can only see whats displayed?

Are you saying you can download stuff onto the box?

My understanding is that it's all streaming

The same way it works on your android phone for most part of it. I'm even running a torrent app on my LIT box and it downloads just fine to the box and sd card.

Please give instructions how to achieve this.

Firstly, you start by buying a UNIX self-help guide.
Take a year or two, to master the command line.......
Then, only, do you download your first LINUX distro, and start playing with it.

At this point you might hear a whisper of Android being Linux based.
Unfortunately for you, it is all GUI, and all your years of prep does not help.

Now you can pre-heat the oven to 225C, and give it a few minutes.

O wait, no, wrong instructions.
What was the question again?

I also tried teamviewer.. the select button doesnt work so you cant excute stuff..

going to try other remote access applications. will give feedback which works best.. teamviewer would be easiest if it worked well
