PVR-150 IR Blaster stops working after recording.

[vesp]

I know this really isnt the best place for this question as I think it is more hauppages problem then gbpvr, but they dont seem to want to answer my questions via email or on shspvr site. Figured someone here might know whats up; so copying my post here. :o

I was having the issue of the blaster stop working after a few minutes of idle time issue, but was able to solve that thanks to some great information here, I am, however, still losing IR blaster control (Remote works fine for menus and such, just not controlling my cable box) every time I record something. I can get it back by restarting the IR program but a) that is really kludgy and b) wouldnt help if I had set 2 or more things to record on different channels while I was not around to restart the program.

I have tried all of the official page drivers, the 2 latest prerelease drivers + the new cdlite, and a hodgepodge of older drivers between the offciial and latest prereleases.

I primarily use the newest version of GBPVR software wise.
Hardware wise, My media machine is:
Shuttle SN45G (NForce 2 board)
AMD XP 3000+
1 Gig of dual channel geil golden dragon ram
Geforce 5600 256mb

Software wise, I am currently running:
XP Pro SP2, 2600 version
Nforce Unified Driver 5.1
pvr_2.0.34.23168
hcw2.2.22301pp2
blastcfg version is: 2.0.22355 (above package has version 1.3.x that does not have the motorola entries i need)

Really getting frustrated and thinking about returning the thing and getting one of the ATI solutions, but hate to give up after spending so much time trying to get it to work right. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try using the '.exe channel changer' and point it at c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\HaupBlast.exe, instead of the built-in 'Hauppauge IR Blaster plugin'.
