As soon as I saw this post, I just had to try it out. This is pretty awesome, and makes controlling my HTPC quite easy. It wasn't difficult to set up, took about 20 minutes to locate and download the required components and get everything installed. Once the plugin was set up in the SideShow control panel applet, it was simple.
What is needed:
1. Register with at

2. Search the directory for Windows SideShow or it is under the Windows category
3. Go to your 'Dashboard' and click on Windows Side Show to get to the download link for the main sideshow files for Windows Mobile, in the package there is a install guide for installing sideshow and linking your windows mobile device.
4. To get the Media Center Add-In for Side Show, from the main link page in step 3, click on 'Click here to access these downloads.'
5. Before installing the Media Center Add-In, download and install the Windows SideShow Managed Runtime 1.0 from

Now I'm watching a movie streaming over my Wireless N network to my HTPC and controlling it with a PocketPC (TyTN II). I haven't run into any bugs so far while playing around with this.
