Hello.

At times I manage to get Mobile Air Mouse to work with ATV. I'm not really sure how I do it because I can't seem to reproduce my success, but sometimes... Like magic. It works.

Usually I get stuck on the Apple page after I've started the MAM server on LaunchMore. I can't scroll, leave the page, or find the cursor. Sometimes I get the prefpane (I _think_ when I've started using Nitotv). And when I use a different remote, then the MAM loses its connection.

When I do manage to get it to work - eg, with Firefox - it works really well. (Except for the @ et al. mentioned in another thread).

Is there a nice, clear set of instructions somewhere for ATV?

Is there a way to add a program to the MAM dock and keep it there, even when it isn't running?

Thanks.

Hi there, hey I am not along with the '@' issue!

Totally agree with the requiremnt for instructions as to how to use with Apple TV. I have used the patchstick from http://www.patchstick.ca/software.html and their wiki mentions how to use mobile air mouse but it is far from helpful.

I have not had the success you mention which is a shame as this product will be very useful for Apple TV. Hope for better results soon.

I have somehow managed to get MAM to stay connected. I'm not sure how, but I _think_ it was by starting it in the Patchstick settings menu and not in any applications menu.

Now I need to get those @ and _ working.
