Viewsat 2000 Platinum FTA support

[triplet]

Hello All, very intrigued with the possibility to create my own pvr using GBPVR.
I didnt see the Viewsat 2000 Platinum FTA receiver supported using the PVR150. Does anyone know if it can be done. I also didnt see IR Blaster support for Viewsat, does that mean i'm outta luck?

Please tell me it can be done!!

Also should add that on my viewsat I pick up Diznet channels from 61.5/110/119 as well as Beiixpressview at 91.0....hope this helps..

Bump.

Sure would like to use my Viewsat VS2000 Platinum with GBPVR too. So far no dice. Anyone help getting codes to make the viewsat work?
Thanks

I think you'd have to ask Hauppauge about this one. Its not something I can change.

I'm reading as much as I can, and hoping I undersatand somethings. Would a USBUirt work for the viewsat fta and GBPVR ?
thanks

The USB-UIRT works with GB-PVR. As long as this viewsat thing uses fairly standard IR signals, then it should be fine.

Thanks Sub,
I took your advice and emailed Hauppauge. Here is their reply:

"At the moment we actually don’t have any ViewSat boxes compatible with our IR blaster as of yet. I’ve put it on the list for the next available update, but not sure when it will be released yet."

Maybe we can get the IR Blaster going again.
Maybe if a few people would also email hauppauge and let them know there are many Viewsats, Coolsats and Pansats that need IR Blaster codes, we would see a fix soon.
