If you're running on a computer rather than a locked-down device, why do you see ads at all?

Also, you've probably already considered this, but a wireless keyboard/mouse would nicely complete a living-room computer.

I bet if you look in the app store there is something in there that will let you use your phone as a media remote.

I use Unified Remote (https://www.unifiedremote.com/) for this, works great.

Glad to see this app is still kicking. I used it a decade ago in college to control my PC while laying in bed and watching movies.

I agree with this sentiment, I also purchased the pro version and it's the only app I ever bought.

It just works.
