I am having a lot of trouble getting the IR blaster to work with my HVR-2250. Does anybody have an HVR-2250 working with the IR blaster that comes with it. Mine came with one blaster with the receiver attached to it with an 1/8 inch jack that plugs into the card itself, and the other blaster alone with an 1/8 inch jack also.
I have tried using this blastcfg program, but this gives me no options at all like any of the instructions say you get. Everything I try to select, like region, or vendor/model only says "learning" in the dropdown menu and nothing else. When I try to learn from my STB's remote, all I get when pressing the button I want to learn is it telling me to release the button, not "press and hold button" like they say it should tell me at first. This does not seem to be working right, and does not respond to anything I do.
I have also tried this Hip program, but I have no clue if my remote is v1 or v2, or I dont know if that even matters when Im just trying to get the IR blaster to work. I tried this anyways and when trying to learn from the STB's remote with this configuration utility, it flashes on the screen "tap the key on the remote you wish to learn" for a split second and then goes straight to a message saying "an error or timeout occurred Do you wish to try again?". It will not do anything else, so I doubt this is working right either.
Every tutorial I find only has a small part of what I need, and most of what I see if completely different than what they are seeing. Does anyone else have the HVR-2250 and this blaster working? Can anyone direct me to a tutorial or something that will explain a little more to me. I guess one of the main problems is I dont really even know if this blaster is an MCE or haupauge blaster.
