[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 394691, member: 25562"] I'm a little confused by what you mean with "blaster." Usually that refers to a device that jumps between one IR receiver and another so you can send signals for example from your MCE receiver using the MCE remote to the STB. You refer to a "four button dog bone blaster." I've never used a proper blaster so I have no way of knowing, but I don't think any of them have buttons. Are you talking about the remote here? Sorry if I'm wrong about this, I just don't know much about blasters. If you're talking about the MCE remote, then yes it should work with your PVR 150. You'll configure MediaPortal to handle the MCE remote (it's a single checkbox, one of the easier things to configure) then it will send all the necessary signals to your card. I believe MP can also handle a proper blaster setup to send signals to the STB, search forums for other people who've set this up. Also, I'll agree with those above who suggest SchedulesDirect. It's by far the easiest way to get EPG in the states. It costs $20/year and is worth every penny. Sign up for the free trial first and you'll have two weeks to experiment and be sure you want to pay.
