sorry, I thought you had some kind of universal touch screen remote.

It's a stand-alone Dell 15" touch-screen. The monitor works perfectly and
looks great. I simply cannot turn the channels and such because Media Center
is on the big screen and you cannot detach the controls from the main window.

I have one computer - the projector and touch-screen are both connected to
it. It's a very nice HTPC case - Core 2 Duo - 2 gigs RAM - 2 SATA II 250 gig
hard drives - Pinnacle USB TV Tuner - Nice Realtek sound card connected to a
Pioneer Receiver via digitale cable - BOSE Accoustamas speakers connected to
the receiver.

I have a remote control that came with the TV Tuner. However, I wanted the
super-cool factor of a touch-screen entertainment center...

I am using a computer for my main entertainment center in my home. The only
problem that I have is: I need to be able to change channels, view the guide,
etc from my second monitor.

Here's my configuration:

Projector that I use to watch TV on (Dell 3400 mp projected onto an 89"
screen).
Touch-screen monitor on a table in front of my couch

I want to change channels, view the guide, and do all of the things that you
do with the Media Center software on the small touch-screen monitor while
viewing TV on the big-screen.

I've got a SUPER cool setup now. I purchased the touch-screen to make it
more cool. Now I want to be able to control the sound and TV on the
touch-screen.

HELP!
