Niall has officially launched version 1 of Big Screen byRemote the remote scheduling application. There are two version, a free basic edition and a pro version (no price yet) and there is Windows Phone 7 native client available soon.

It’s great to see a free version, this application has grown as a really great service and one that is going to essential for Media Center users.

Here are the details from Niall:

  • A *FREE* “Basic Edition” (which never expires) – and offers the majority of the functionality you’ve so far seen in the beta versions (with a few minor limitations on the Silverlight client – and with no restrictions on the Mobile XHTML client).
  • A “Pro Edition” ($TBA) – which will in future offer some additional/new functionality – plus remove any restrictions/limitations of the Basic Edition. Note that the Pro Edition is not yet available for purchase – and will be made available sometime in the future (when this new functionality is added).

The new version contains a few improvements to the previous beta version (v0.6x releases) such as :

  • Enhanced Silverlight UI with numerous bug fixes and some minor visual enhancements to the existing functionality.
  • Extended Support for the Windows Phone 7 client (which will be available soon via Windows Phone Marketplace).
  • Enhanced support/fixes for those using reverse proxies (and other more complex networking setups where IP Address/URL is remapped/routed)
  • Note that the IUI (IPad/iPhone) specific browser experience has been dropped for this release and most users preferred the XHTML client anyhow on these devices (and the IUI based client will be rewritten in future).
