Command your PVR via IM with /mobileRecord
What do you do when you're out of town and realize you forgot to set your PVR to record, say, Celebrity Duets? Nothing! You're out of luck! No duets for you! That is, unless you have a Windows Media Center PVR, and the foresight to have installed /mobileRecord by Casey Chestnut. /mobileRecord is an IM bot that talks to your WMCE scheduling software and lets you schedule recordings via MSN/Windows Live Messenger. This is particularly handy if you have an IM-capable smart phone, but even if you're just IMing from the office it could be seriously handy. /mobileRecord also supports voice recognition if you have Microsoft's Speech Server 2007 beta installed, which will allow you to command your PVR from any phone. /mobileRecord is delightfully free.[Via Engadget]

As the project manager for Media Center's PVR User Experience and Platform for the past 4 releases, I have to say this is really awesome. I wish more people would use the public APIs available for Media Center's recording functions.
