Abstract
A system which includes a remote keyboard and a remote pointer to control a personal computer (PC). The PC generates a PC monitor display and sounds, and a device projects that same display image and plays the same sounds on a remotely located television. A remote keyboard and remote pointer may be in one room with the television, while the PC is in another room. Another system permits the PC to not merely generate and project its PC monitor display on the TV but, also, to control the TV's functions, including program selection, viewing, recording, and scheduling.
