[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1159787, member: 82144"] I haven't got a Hauppauge blaster, but I have some idea of what is required to get it working. The process goes something like this: [LIST=1] [*]Install Hauppauge's IR blaster driver (IRBlast). This should be supplied with the product install CD or downloadable from the product page within the support section of Hauppauge's website (eg. for Colossus, -->[URL='http://hauppauge.com/site/support/support_colossus.html']here[/URL]<--, IR Blaster tab). [*]Configure the blaster with "Blaster Configuration" (BlastCfg.exe). BlastCfg.exe is installed when you install IRBlast (ie. step 1). Hauppauge supply a manual describing how to use/configure BlastCfg.exe. Again, that should be on the product install CD or downloadable from the product page within the support section of Hauppauge's website. [/LIST] The above steps are completely independent of TV Server, and are probably required if you were wanting to use the Hauppauge blaster with any Hauppauge or 3rd party software. If the blaster doesn't work with BlastCfg.exe, it will never work with MediaPortal or MediaPortal's TV Server. To get the blaster working with MediaPortal and TV Server: [LIST=1] [*]Open TV Server Configuration. [*]Navigate into the "plugins" section. [*]Tick the "ServerBlaster" plugin to enable it. [*]Navigate into the "manual control" section. [*]Click "stop service"... then "start service". [*]Expand the "plugins" section in the left pane (click on the +). [*]Navigate into the "ServerBlaster" plugin configuration section. [*]Select blaster type "Hauppauge". [/LIST] ...and that's it. :) Assuming that all your channels have been configured with correct channel numbers (analog tuning detail -> "channel number" field, as shown -->[URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/04_Radio_Channels/Add_or_Edit_a_Channel#Analog_tuning_details']here[/URL]<--), it should just work.
