Streaming and remote control of Media Center with iPod/iPhone

Since buying an iPod Touch, I’ve been seeking ways to integrate the device into our media system. Being a Microsoft Windows Media Center user, you wouldn’t think this would be very easy but as it turns out, there are several options that will not only allow you to stream content to a Touch/iPhone but remote control your HTPC as well. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of apps available to turn your portable device into a full use remote control. I’ve used two so far and you’ll find all the details below.
