HTPC with Nexus S Android Tablet

[SevenSeas]

Hi guys, I am planning on setting up a new HTPC system running Windows 8 and using my Nexus S Android Tablet as a remote control for the system. Is anybody using an Android tablet for controlling their HTPC? and know of some good software to use? Also considering a wireless keyboard thought I would explore the tablet option first. Thank you in advance.

I am using Vectir PC remote control as a remote control on my Nexus S 8.4. It controls the mouse, keyboard, volume and a number of media players. I use it as a remote control for Spotify, VLC and WMP on my HTPC. One problem with using a tablet as a remote control in a dark HTPC environment is the screen can be really bright. The dark theme in Vectir remote control solves this problem. Give it a go. The free version has pretty much everything you will need.

You could do kodi on the htpc and yatse on your tablet. Great combo
