ConnectedVNC has moved!

ConnectedVNC is a free VNC client that allows you to control your Windows PC from your television using your DivX Connected set-top box.
What's it for?
Because ConnectedVNC allows you use your PC from your TV, you can do things like check your email and browse the web without having to leave the comfort of your arm chair.
Requirements
To use the ConnectedVNC plug-in, you need to install a VNC server on the same PC as the DivX Connected server software; we recommend UltraVNC from http://www.ultravnc.com/.
Once installed, open Admin Properties by right-clicking on the system tray icon, create a password (middle-left), tick the box next to "Allow Loopback Connections" (top-left) and click OK.
That's it! You're ready to use ConnectedVNC.
Audio (optional)
If you'd like to add audio, you can do so by installing an Icecast or SHOUTcast server alongside DivX Connected to enable you to enjoy applications like Spotify and iTunes remotely; see the ConCast plug-in page for more information.
Getting Started
To use ConnectedVNC, simply navigate to the Plug-ins menu, or press the orange button on your remote control, and select ConnectedVNC.
On the first screen, highlight the password box and press ENTER on your remote control to bring up the on-screen keyboard, enter your password, then navigate to DONE and press enter. Now, simply press down on your remote control to highlight the Login button and pres ENTER.
If you have entered the correct password, the desktop of your PC should appear.
Remote Control
ARROWS = Move the mouse up/down/left/right
ENTER = Left mouse click
MENU = Right mouse click
PAGE UP/DOWN = Scroll up/down
DELETE = Backspace key
NUMBERS = Number keys
DOT = Start/end drag
For additional keyboard input, we recommend using the Windows on-screen keyboard:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Error Messages
After you click the Login button, you might see "Connection Error" or "Invalid Password"; a connection error usually occurs because the VNC server is not running, it is being blocked by a firewall or because "Allow Loopback Connections" has not been selected in the VNC server's admin properties.
Either way, press BACK to try again.

Now with audio!
By installing a SHOUTcast or Icecast server alongside DivX Connected, you can now listen to your PC while using it remotely on your TV, enabling you to enjoy applications like Spotify and iTunes from the comfort of your sofa!
Existing users will need to download the latest plug-in to upgrade. Audio is optional. Some users may experience a 1-2 second audio lag.
For more information about streaming audio from your PC to your set-top box, please refer to the the ConCast plug-in page.

connectedVNC
I have tried this and all seems to work OK except there is no audio. There are no sounds when I perform any operation (Vista x64). Have I misunderstood, is this video only or is there something I have missed in the set-up?
No Audio
Sadly, the VNC protocol does not currently support audio.
We're looking into ways of adding sound by other means and will post an update here if we have any success. All suggestions are welcome!
Drag & Drop
Download the latest version to use the dot button (above the volume control) for drag and drop: press it once to start dragging, again to stop.
You should not use this feature with the DivX Connected server window!
Great Job
Glad to see that there is still some active developpers working on this device.
Very useful to have a check on your mailbox from your sofa.
