Hi Good Folk,
I'm 90% done with my HTPC build -using GBPVR and a Hauppauge PVR-150 MCE Kit (with IR Blaster). Everything looking good so far, EPG working nicely, had a h*ll of a job getting the USB IR receiver to install, eventually forced it through Hardware wizard-New USB device after installing a Microsoft patch. The blaster transmitter flashed during installation so I know (assume) it's okay.
Every attempt to run the blaster config. s/ware throws up the message "IR Blaster hardware not found" -any suggestions? I've downloaded and run the middleware/IR Blaster s/ware -no joy.
The remote is good otherwise, power button puts PC to sleep/wakes up the PC from standby, DVD control buttons operate with the Cyberlink Power DVD software perfectly. I can live without the Blaster functionality but it nags at me...as I'm just taking a feed from the Sky Digital set-top box I can progam the shows in the Sky EPG and use that to force the channel change on the Sky box?
One other issue, I want to re-program the remote WinTV power button (small red button) to start the GBPVR software from windows (XP SP2). The PC boots straight into the GBPVR program, but I drop out to use windows from time to time. I've found the command line in the irremote.ini file that starts the Wintv program, but attempts to change it to start the pvrx2.exe app just through up an "application not found" message when button is pushed? I've tried including/excluding full directory in command line.
Sorry for so many questions but it's all a learning curve right now...
