Control roku with a different roku

Haha, that is great, except for my 6 year old figured it was me messing with her Netflix watching downstairs :twisted:

Just don't press Home, as that will exit the source roku application. Instant Replay is mapped to the target roku for Home

In testing Remoku one of the sillier things I did was load it on the Logitech Revue/Google TV version of Chrome, so Remoku was displayed on a different input of the same sixty-inch screen as the Roku. Totally pointless for actual use of course, but I wanted to see that everything worked (it did) and it made me laugh to see it blown up so large.
