Alternative to PVR-150 blaster

[zaldwaik]

I am moving to windows 7 and NPVR and I have pvr-150 that works fine except the blaster. It looks like it does not work under Windows 7. Is there a cheap alternative? Thanks.

One option would be the basic Microsoft mce remote receiver (cheap on bay, may not be genuine but work ok) combined with IR server suite (1.4.2.4189) works ok on 7 I think. IR server suite is documented on the MediaPortal site.

With my 150 I use the Microsoft MCE remote/blaster and IR Server Suite (1.4.2.3158 as later versions have problems blasting outside of Mediaportal). The Microsoft kit though is hard to get now (can be costly on ebay) but the Hauppauge MC Remote kit is available and works the same. Other people have has success using hardware such as the USBUIRT. All options wil be USB based.
