The pc I use to serve MediaPortal is dual-purpose; ie, normal pc operations (net, gaming, encoding, etc) and as a HTPC (serving MediaPortal).

If your using the Hauppauge card on the box, then easier way is not to use IRSS. 1. Install the Hauppauge Blaster Config and IR32.EXE from your Hauppauge disk or Hauppauge support site. 2. Configure your Hauppauge Blaster Config to your set top box, and use test to see if it turns your box off and on. Also make sure your blaster...

Right, now we're talking the same language. :D There are definitely cards available. For example, the Hauppauge HVR3000 and 3300 allow you to tune DVB-T or DVB-S or analog... but there is only one tuner, so you can only view one "set" (DVB-T being one set, DVB-S another, and analog the third...) of channels at a time. The HVR4000 and...

Hi again 941ranger I'm sorry for the hassle and confusion.

Hi brokenrobot The one thing that always sticks in my mind, is bandwidth on the motherboard, if it struggles to cope, especially with only 1gb of memory, most of that is taken running the OS, let alone MP, so if you have a bottleneck, suspect it's there. Know anypne with a spare gig of your memory, just might help a lot :P

Okay The problem will go away if you uninstall IR32.exe, which is the Hauppauge remote software with the icon that sits in your system tray area. If you use the Hauppauge remote for other stuff then you should set it up in MediaPortal with the idea being that MediaPortal needs to know about the remote so that it can avoid fighting...
