Found another use for my Axim handheld - a TV remote

Awhile back, I bought myself a Dell Axim X50v handheld.
I've been thrilled with it, and still use it on a daily basis. It plays music, goes wireless anywhere to get my Lotus Notes mail, and helps me do all sorts of things.
I found another use for it two days ago when Matt and I lost our remote to the DVD player. I think we threw it out, or the ferrets took it. It's just gone. And our house isn't that big. Now, we can use basic functions like Stop and Play from the cable remote. But, we can't get into settings like 5.1 surround or DTS, or special features, etc. Most importantly, we can't play AtmosFEAR. Something had to be done!
Enter my handheld to the rescue. All it took was PDAWin's TV Remote Controller program, and a quick search on Remote Central for my device file, this case a Pioneer DV525.
Problem solved. Now it's time to teach the program all my other remotes BEFORE they get lost. It's just a matter of time...
