I'm using media portal since 0.1.3.0, and I'm very happy with it.
For about one year (since 0.2) I'm using to watch TV too, with the Hauppauge HVR 1300, using some channels tuned in by the tuner itself and some from STB over video in, and managed to change channels using MP Hauppauge blaser plugin. I used TvEngine 2 (not TV server) since I had some early attempts to use TV server but with no success, and I wanted a relativelyt stable system for "family acceptance" factor

About two weeks ago I decided to switch to 1.0 RC1, since I had some problems with pre version (0.9.4 as I recall)

However, this version doesn't use internal TV engine anymore, so I had to start with TV server.

I managed to tune in channels, and setting their names, and saw them in MediaPortal
But I have no idea how to setup channels from STB. In MyTV engine I set the source and there was a field, external channel, which ordered hauppauge blaster to send the ir command

In TV server I only see blaster SMK and Microsoft. Is SMK the hauppauge blaster? If not, is any other plugin for hauppauge blaster?

And how (where) do I set the channel number from STB, which the blaster will send?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm the only one here with hauppauge blaster and TV server?

Is there any solution to this? Should I upgrade to a newer version of TV server?

Thank you

Hi,

Isn't anyone here who have Hauppauge IR blaster used with TV Server?
Since developers have stop development of internal TV engine 2, and have switch to TV server as TV source, I hope there should be some users which has hauppauge card with irblaster, who had to set it up for TV server.

Any help on this is appreciated.
Thank you
