Hauppauge PVR-250 and HVR-2250 Remote Conflict

[weisguy]

Hello,

I have set up an HVR-2250 in the same GBPVR system with two older PCI PVR-250's and want to use all three cards. I am using the white-box HVR-2250 with no remote included. Thus I would like to continue to use the remote hardware and sensor with the PVR-250 to control GBPVR.

Since setting up the 2250, I cannot get the remote sensor to fire up on either of the PVR-250's - the IR tray application will not start thus the system is not receiving remote commands.

It appears some sort of conflict exists between the new HVR-2250 drivers and the PVR-250 infrared drivers which prevents the IR applications supporting the 250 from working. The tuners on the cards work fine, though.

I have tried hcwclear.exe to reinstall my devices in a different order (HVR-2250 first vs. PVR-250 first). No luck.

Has anyone else run into this? Any solutions?

I also wrote Hauppauge with my issue and their response was prompt but unhelpful. I will be returning the HVR-2250 due to the way it kills the remote function on the PVR-250 when installed simultaneously. Here is Hauppauge's response:

Hello,
The IR software is attaching the 2250 and there is no IR hardware on
it. We don't have a workaround for this, the software will try to attach to
whichever card it sees first. You can try installing the 2250 first and
then the 250s but there is no guarantee this will work. They never put any
provisions in the IR software for multiple card setups since we never
supported that.
