Is there any way to control NR without using the touchscreen?
It would be useful to have a linux server connect to a Palm that runs NR, and send channel numbers on a schedule, which NR would then relay to a set top box using IR.
In effect, the Palm could potentially act as the following device:
http://www.irtrans.com/en/shop/wifi.php
enabling MythTV users to escape the astronomical price of that hardware.
And if not, are there any open source Palm apps similar to NR, that a developer could modify to support this? |

I think it won't be a hard task to force NR accept commands via the command line arguments or some other events.
The more hard task is to write (or find?) a client software for a Palm which could accept commands from the Linux server and pass then to NR. Any ideas ? |

There's nothing that I know of to receive linux commands, but there is a project that receives system health info from a PC, and plots it: http://palmorb.sourceforge.net/
Perhaps bits from that project could be used to transfer commands. |
