Webbased Sky/Sky+ remote control software - linux version
=========================================================

Installation
============

1. Ensure you have apache and perl installed.

You probably will anyway, if you don't refer to your linux distribution's
documentation.

2. Install cgi scripts

Usually this will be a case of (from the directory that you have the software
unpacked too):

cp * /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
cp remote.jpg /var/www/
(above 2 commands should be run as the 'root' user)

Configuration
=============

At the top of controls.cgi, there are several configuration options.

skyplus: set this to zero if you're not using a sky+
boxoutput: set this to 1 or 2 depending which output the box you want to control is connected to
delay: you may want to increase this if you sky box is slower and the screengrab is taken too early a lot

Using it
========

Firstly, make sure that your TV card is tuned to the sky/sky+ channel.

To first check it works, visit:

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/controls.cgi

You should see a sky remote control on the right, and an image from the TV card on the left. Clicking on the
buttons on the remote should cause the image on the left to update.
