Webbased Sky/Sky+ remote control software
=========================================

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

1. Install apache

Download apache 1.3.33 for windows:

http://apache.mirror.positive-internet.com/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_1.3.33-win32-x86-no_src.exe

Install using the default options.

2. Install perl

Download activestate perl 5.8.7 for windows:

http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi

Install using the default options.

3. Install cgi scripts

Copy the cgi-bin and htdocs directories from this zip file in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache
(there should already be copies there)

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

At the top of cgi-bin/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.
