Hi all, I am still using Plex Home Theatre but would like to update to OpenPHT.

I currently run PHT on a Windows 7 machine and launch it via a shortcut in Windows Media Center. I control it via a Harmony Remote control.

If I update, will I still have the shortcut in WMC and also will the remote still work using the same commands or will I need to reprogram it ?

What is the best way to upgrade please ?

Thanks all
