I realize my exact idea is a bit impossible at the moment, but I'm curious if others are interested, or if anyone see's this as a possible trend.
We don't have cable TV and use a HTPC with a 50" and 5.1 setup. We use the HTPC for Hulu/Netflix/etc and the PS3 for Blu-Rays and DVDs.
At the bare minimum, I'd like to be able to have a tablet PC program, that basically turns your normal windows experience into a touch screen. In other words, you can use the tablet to open/close programs, browse the web, etc but your using it to control the HTPC. And I'd think with a USB port a cable box/etc could be controlled as well.
Is anyone working on things like this?
Or a receiver that integrates and could be controlled through the computer as well?
Of course, ideally, I'd like to be able to control TV/HTPC/PS3/Receiver all from an interface on a tablet PC.
