Abstract
The present invention includes a Couch Link system which provides for a remote keyboard and a remote pointer to control a PC. The PC generates a PC monitor display and sounds, and the invention projects the same display image and play the sounds on a television. The remote keyboard and remote pointer may be in one room with the television, while the PC is in another room. The Relink system of the present invention further 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.
