PVR150 IR controller

[Dekk]

Hi,
First time post here, after an excellent reference from a friend I have been trying out GB-PVR on a newly installed Hauppauge PVR-150 and love the setup - great design thankyou!! I have however met with 2 problems and haven't spotted a direct reference to this on the forums yet.

Whilst on live TV, I keep getting the same message coming up:
'Found IR controller (e2)'. This would not be a problem except for the fact it kicks GB to a non-active window so it then stops responding to future use of the remote until I close the message box.

So, what is not clear is whether this is a problem with the Hauppauge IR blaster software or an issue between this and GB....any suggestions? Using the latest IR blaster driver.

Also, more of a general question to all of you with far more expertise in this area! I have a motorola DCT 2500 dig cable box and I'm having a tough time getting my IR blaster to communicate with this - has anyone else had any luck with this? If so, please let me know how you got it to work!

Thanks again, really hoping I can work around this as GBPVR is the nicest looking software package I've come across in a while! Cheers, Dekk.

This message isnt being generated by GB-PVR, so I'm guessing its the Hauppauge IR software?

Dekk,

Get the latest IR software from Hauppage. It should have the Motorolar 2500 listed in the configuration software for IR blaster.

I do have the latest IR blaster software already installed from the Hauppauge website and the DCT2500 is listed in the compatible cable box list. However, I've had no luck getting the IR blaster to show any control over the 2500. Looking around the online forums, most references to the 2500 seem to include the use of a USB-UIRT instead of IR blaster but I think these posts precede the inclusion of the 2500 to the compatibility list.

I'm gonna try a complete reinstall of all the Hauppauge drivers/software and GBPVR tonight and see what happens. If anyone else has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Cheers
Dekk

Have you tried the latest beta from here?

Thanks for that link. No I hadn't used the latest from here but I went and reinstalled the beta version currently on the US Hauppauge site and that sorted the problem out!
Now just to figure out getting the DCT2500 and PVR150 to communicate with one another!!!!!!!!!
