Folks:
I'm setting up a NextPVR box for my in-laws using a Hauppauge DCR-2650 (CableCard dual tuner). It's definitely required a lot more work than the one using a Hauppauge HVR-1600 (non-CableCard dual digital/analog tuner) that I built a few years ago; however, I mostly have it sorted out.
One of the big problems I'm having is that I can't get the remote control to work. I _do_ have the "Hauppauge DCR-2650 IR Service" running according to the Services panel (as well as the "Hauppauge Tuning Adapter Proxy"). I don't see any keypresses coming through in notepad. I'm used to configuring C:\Windows\irremote.ini and using the IR remote system tray icon that comes with other Hauppauge tuners (which I can install, but I'm not sure it accomplishes anything w/ the DCR-2650).
Note that I'm running Windows XP SP3 (not supported by Hauppauge) vice Windows 7, but so far I've gotten most things to work just fine; e.g., I didn't run Windows MC DCA since I don't have a media center version. I realize that this is more of a community question than a NextPVR question, but I wanted to check with people here that could help.
I really appreciate any help that someone can provide.
Thanks,
Jeff
