    Watch out because the author of this program can switch off your computer any time !!

    I really do not often write reviews for programs I have not tried but with the Publishers description I see no reason why I would want this program from their information.
    As I look a little closer to the information supplied I again see no reason as to why I would want this program.
    Sorry guys, make your descriptions useful as well as the program a little more specific as I do not need or want something that takes control and is behind the scenes unless I have full confidence in it/useful.
    No interest/confidence out of this guy to even want to give it a whirl!

    As for the above statement from SandraDuboix I think she needs to expand on that hypothesis or it means nothing!

    SandraDuboix we are all waiting!!!

    If Girder doesn't work for you, and you have a SnapStream Firefly remote, I recommend LM Remote Keymap. All you need are the standalone firefly drivers, plus this app:

    No, I don't work for them. I have BeyondTV and didn't see any reason I should load the entire media application just to get my remote working. It also works with plenty of other apps and is configurable.

    As a disabled user whose condition has deteriorated steadily over the last few years making life as easy as possible has been my number one objective for quite a while now. Girder is helping me achieve this goal! I can no longer go without this application, highly recommended!

    I couldn't get this POS software to work. Despite following every single direction & instruction listed, my Firefly remote wouldn't detect it, despite the fact I loaded the correct plugin.

    $99 for this headache. No thanks!
