NextPVR missing a single digit when blasting (the Number 8)

Hi

I just started using NextPVR and really like it. I switched over from WMC recently as my cable company stopped supporting cable-card. I initially tried switching WMC over to dual Hauppauge Colossus cards but couldn't get it to work reliably. 

Everything with NextPVR was a breeze to setup but I am having one strange problem with NextPVR. It sometimes it tunes the wrong channel when blasting the cable boxes. I couldn't figure it out a pattern until I realized its only channels with the number 8 in them. So if I tune 187 I get 17 etc. All other channels with (3 digits and otherwise) tune perfectly as long as the number 8 isn't involved. I have 2 cable boxes attached to two Colossus 1 cards. One card blasts with the Hauppauge built in blaster using HaupBlast.exe. The other uses a USBUIRT  using USBUIRTSend.exe. The issue with number 8 happens with both methods of blasting which is weird. 

Thanks for any help

NextPVR doesn't do the blasting itself. It's not sending the individual digits etc. NextPVR just runs 'haupblast.exe 187' and behind the scenes haupblast.exe just passes '187' to a Hauppauge DLL, and Hauppauge's software takes care of sending each of the individual digits etc.

It's probably a case of either digit not being learned correctly, or the timing between digits being off. Ultimately there is no NextPVR settings that'll affect this though - this stuff taken care of by 3rd party software.

Thanks. I'll dig deeper and if I figure it out I'll post the solution.

After way too much time I figured it out. Pretty simple. I originally didn't think it could be something wrong with the remote codes since it was two separate devices and different software controlling each box. Well it turns out somehow I learned the wrong 
remote code for number 8 in the USBUIRT's remote codes file. I also chose the wrong cable box in the Hauppauge IR setup software.   Weird that for both problems only number 8 didn't work. Works perfectly now.

Great - glad you got it sorted
