Android phones, apps and tablets

Also (and this may be a long shot)

Is there an app which would allow me to control my PC volume from my phone? As we are currently living without our main TV I use my monitor as the TV when watching DVD's or anything on line and since I don't have a remote for my speakers and sub I don't want to get out of bed to fiddle with the volume.

It would be great to be able to set up a DVD or film then control everything from my phone. Turning off the PC would be awesome but I doubt that's possible. (More 15th Century burning at the stake)

Try the Valence app - it should do the job. I've got HippoRemote on my Mac which basically the same and excellent.
