Hi overrun Here is a bit of a tutorial: link. You need to decide whether you want to use the Hauppauge blaster or the USB-UIRT one - you only need one. Once testing is working in the TV3 Blaster plugin (note: *not* the ServerBlaster plugin - disable ServerBlaster if you're using IRSS) then to get interactive blasting to work, your...

You do not need to turn it on beforehand if you plan to use option 3. just wait until the problem occur, then run it and option 3 will go and collect all logs and system information at that specific time.

My BGT3600 is working nicely now, but I could not get it to work at all with the motherboard I had in my HTPC at the time. BlackGold support just gave me standard fob-offs about "obsolete operating system" because I was using XP, but it didn't work in Windows 7 either on that board. It was an MSI K9N6SGM-V, with nvidia chipset. I...

Hi and welcome rplohocky :) You can try windowed mode - press alt+enter to jump between full screen and windowed modes.
