Topic: When I change the channel on the web page, does my Chumby change?

I am thinking it does, but would like to know for sure.

So say I am work and know my wife is in the room with the Chumby, could I go to chumby.com and change it to a channel with a flash card I made for her and play it, then it would pop up on the chumby next to her?

Also, If I am playing a interactive widget on the website, does the chumby show the actions I am taking on the widget?

Re: When I change the channel on the web page, does my Chumby change?

On the first question, yes, a change to the channel on the website should be reflected on any chumby set to that channel, typically within ten minutes.  Changes to the configuration of a particular widget (through the "customize" link) will act the same way.

However, any interaction with a widget is entirely local to the chumby or the site.  A widget *could* upload information back to the server such that another chumby using that widget could download the changes and show them - I think there are only a couple of widgets that do that.
