I've got an HTPC that I want to control from my laptop (and phone if possible via another piece of software).

Windows Remote Desktop Connection works well... but I can't control it via my laptop AND view the HTPC on my TV at the same time as it logs the user out locally. This is what I want to do.

If there's also another app whereby I can control it via my phone (ie see the desktop on my Android) then that would be useful but not essential.

Thanks!
 
Another vote for VNC, although I tend to use Ultra as opposed to Tight.

I've also used TeamViewer to connect to my dad's machine in the past and that seemed OK too.

Click to expand...

you can setup a number of allowed sessions for remote desktop connection

then you can control them both at the same time.

not to sure if theres a app though.
 
I use the above patch on my htpc for doing background tasks, works just as expected!
else VNC is good if you need to interact wth the desktop.
