Remote Question

Hi Guys,

Is there anything that I can do to ge the remote to work without a cable box? My cable goes directly into the pc. Thanks.

You need to give us more info. What remote do you have? What do you wan to do with it? How does this relate to not having a cable box?

I have the Hauppauge 45 button remote from my WinTV pvr 150 package. I keep reading that you need a cable box (which I don't have) in order to use the remote. I want to be able to change the channels and select tv show to record, view my recordings using the remote and close gb-pvr with the remote. Thanks

Where on earth do you keep reading that? Stop reading that immediately!
What you could be reading is that you need a cable box (or set top box) in order to use the ir blaster that comes with the pvr-150. The ir blaster's only job is to change channels on the set top box, so if you don't have a set top box you don't have to use, nor install, the ir blaster.
