I do a lot of trial and error on the zapper. In itself ,that's not bad. What IS bad, though, is that my tv set is in the living room and my PC is in my study. So if I want to troubleshoot a plugin or a container, I have to go two flights up and down from TV to PC and vice versa.
So I searched for a solution to view a mirror of the TVscreen output on my computer PC. Together with the virtual remote I could then troubleshoot without all the walking.
Well, guess what? I found one. It's called UltraMon.
On my screen, it looks like this:

The bonus of this is that I now can use the zapper on my PC without going through the screen settings of the zapper everytime I want to use it in my study (with the hazard of not putting them back when I'm done and ending up running 2 stairs up and down to reset the settings after all).
Nothing short of amazing. Just so you'd know.
