Hi,
This is a HIP problem, but I'm hoping somebody out there may have come across this issue and found a solution. I have two Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 devices that I operate with a PVR150 Model 1062/232 remote. The beanbag has two ports (#1 and #2) and I'm running both Windows MCE 2005 and GBPVR. Under Windows MCE 2005, I get seemless performance -- I have both blaster ports working perfectly, each controlling a Comcast Scientific Atlanta digital cable box.
However, GBPVR is a different story. I'm close to a perfect setup, but yet so far away. The problem is that no matter what I try, HIP doesn't seem to be able to fire IR codes out of blaster port #1 on the beanbag. I followed the HIP setup WIKI on the GBPVR site, which is very well detailed. In GBPVR's settings, I have the ehome driver loaded in device manager, but still have HIPs output device set to use 'MCE' (HipMCE.DLL). This configuration works fine for one STB - the IR codes are the same for each box, and I have HIP sending the proper codes through HIPsend. This works as long as I have the blaster connected to port #2. If I connect through port #1, it never sends a flash.
I investigated further and used the HIP configuration utility (I'm running the latest version of HIP) . . . I tried to send a "Test IR" command to port #1, and I never get anything. Using the same command on port #2, it works perfectly and sends the right flash every time. If I swith the blaster cables, I still get the same results -- #2 port works and #1 port doesn't.
Since both ports #1 and #2 work in MCE 2005, I know there's nothing wrong with the hardware. For some reason, HIP just refuses to recognize port #1. Is there anything I can try to get it to work?
Thanks very much in advance.
