[QUOTE="reebokman, post: 28099, member: 16787"] Okay, well, I got the PC set up with a WinTv PVR-150-MCE Kit and MP 0.1.3.0. The kit came with a MCE 2005 remote, receiver and blaster. The thing is though, this remote looks similar to the 2K5 remote but has four extra buttons (my dvd, my pics, etc.) and is a little different in shape on the bottom of the remote. Couple of issues: 1) MP runs really really slow while I'm using it. Just in general. Then, while using it to watch live TV it functions, but it freezes when I try to pause/timeshift. After extended problems with this I download Beyond TV trial to just see if this is a PC issue and BTV4 works seamlessly. Then again, I know MP is still new and I definitely love the way it looks and functions, only if it wasn't slow. Should I download 0.2? 2) The MCE remote and receiver works well together with the original drivers, but the IR blaster doesn't. I spoke to Hauppauge and they said that MCE has the configuration for the IR blaster so it won't work without it. I tried HIP and followed the instructions at [url]http://www.byremote.com.au/Hip/mce_remote_faq.htm[/url]. The remote functionality stops working and on top of that I can't send out IR Blasts to my STB either. It learned the IR codes from my STB remote though. I'm on XP home, could that be the problem? Any help from people who've had this problem? 3) Because of the blaster problems, I was thinking of returning the kit and getting a sole WinTV 150 card and an alternative remote/blaster. What do you guys use for this? I was thinking FireFly and UIRT? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
