Yeah, that's what I used to do when I had DSS. As I recall the remote is radio rather than IR so it wasn't that inconvenient to just keep one in the computer room and switch the tuner from across the house. Are there radio-controller-transmitting satellite TV tuner cards for PCs? Or external serial/parallel/USB devices which function as satellite remotes?
