Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to bring up the guide on a separate monitor while continuing to view the video on the first monitor? What I'd like to try to do is use a touchscreen monitor as a big remote control so I can browse through the guide and change the channel on the touchscreen while the video plays normally on the TV. Thank you!
I apologize if this is in the wrong area, this is my first post.

AFAIK, this is not possible. The alternative solution is to just buy a 2nd PC and use the Shared Guide Potato to browse the first PC's guide remotely. But I'm not sure if shared guide potato would work with the touchscreen. I assume it would, but I could be wrong.
Of course, I think there are some smartphone applications available as well.

I hear Shared Guide works quite well with touch screens

Thanks for the replies! I will try out the add-in when I get home tonight. It looks to be exactly what I am trying to do. And that's really cool you are so responsive on the bugs and requests sccrgoalie1 (I saw you're already up to version 1.1.3). Thanks again!

Of all people, you would be the guy that knows.
