Two Hauppauge cards - two IR sensors - which to use?

[lchiu7]

I have a PVR250 and Nova-T -500 card in my setup. Both have IR sensors. When I just had the PVR250 the Hauppauge remote seemed to work. Now with both cards in there I can only get very limited functionality to work with the Nova-T 500 remote which is a 48(?) button remote. The sensor is plugged into the Nova-T card.

I have done the following. In config set in DVD the fact I am using the 45 button remote and re-ran the IR application. But all I can do with the remote are the up/down/left/right/OK buttons. Nothing else works - can't do esc and go back to a previous menu and can't stop/pause playback.

So it seems GB-PVR sees the remote but with severely reduced functionality. Anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks

Thanks - that looks relevant. But at this point in time I can't even get the Hauppauge software to recognise the IR port so gbpvr has no chance! Looks like a WinTV re-install or something

I have had success by just installing the IR software. From memory, there should be a folder on WinTV CD (or download) called IR containing IR.EXE (or thereabouts). This seems to create a new irremote.ini so I have to click the "Update for 45 button remote" button in the GBPVR config app.

Good Luck

ISTR the nova-t-500 IR sensor appears in control panel, hardware devices and I just disabled it in mine and this let the IR on the PVR150 to be the one to use.
