Tried Remote Potato, but not worked for me

Sure, this is so far the only solution that allows me to  remotely program my Windows Media Center machine, and also stream the content to my iPhone (no iPad edition yet).  But the program is that my router is flicky, and setting up dynmaic DNS service is clumsy just for the sake of this little feature.  And streaming TV using my super low performance Lenovo S12 is more than pain.  Pretty nice idea.  But not for me.
