Dual Monitor Support?
Does anyone know if dual monitors are supported?
In the sense that one monitor (touch screen) could display BeyondMedia or the Program Guide and have the video output to the TV? Basically, I think it would be really cool to have a 7in. touch screen monitor on my coffee table as a dedicated remote. I'd like to have the program guide on that monitor all the time and then touching the program would change the channel on the big screen.

Re: Dual Monitor Support?
Sorry, but I've got bad news. BTV must be on your "primary monitor" this is because it uses Direct X for the display. You can go through the hassle of setting up your secondary monitor to be your primary desktop, but it is a pain in the #$%.
 but I agree, it would be cool

Re: Dual Monitor Support?
You could this with Netremote.
Takes some time and patience on the users end to set it up (the way you want it), but its inexpensive and powerful. Also, check out MainLobby. More expensive, but those that use it, love it. I just have myHTPC frontend displayed on my touchscreen (no program guide though), since BTV never gets minimized. What can I say... Im lazy
