I've been using Joost a good bit lately and since my monitor is so damn far away to get comfortable I and I have a TV out card I popped the signal out to my ugly ole CRT TV. "Great!" I thought now I can sit on my couch and get comfy and watch some good IPTV (well as close as we can get to IPTV in the states).

But hopping up every little while to change the channels every little bit was completely screwing me mojo. And like many people I don't have an IR Remote, (or an RF either) but I do have an ancient Gravis pad pro. So I dragged out JoyToKey again and built myself a good conf file that looks something like this.

And soon that wasn't enough either, so I added mouse functionality and volume controls by linking the R2 button to another joy file so it goes right back to above when I let go.

But it was too slow so I set the R1 to another joy file as well so that when I held R1 & R2 it goes to this configuration.
Which was considerably faster and made it much easier to go through the 'explore' tab of Joost that was I could browse though channels via genres.

If you want my conf file you can grab it here (at the bottom). And if you need to know the shorcut keys they'll pop up below.
