[QUOTE="chesh, post: 383857, member: 88249"] Ok, I need some help w/ IR blasting. I currently have blasting to a degree working in Mediaportal, but I'm going to throw a wrench into my setup tonight and I want to make sure I'm ready for it. Currently I have a Hauppauge HD-PVR that has it's IR blaster hooked up to my STB and it is switching channels. (Ex. I pick something in the guide, it changes the channels) I'm using the hacked ServerBlaster plugin w/ Hauppauge support for my current blasting. Now, this is where the questions come in: 1) I'm using the Thermaltake DH-101 case that has a iMon IR receiver in the front of it and I'd like that to be the only receiver interpreting commands from a remote control (currently not setup, and not exactly sure how to set it up). 2) I'm adding a Hauppauge HVR-1600 model 1199 to the setup tonight. I'm going to be hooking up both tuners, one to the digital out from the passthrough of the STB for clearQAM and the other to just basic cable (split before the box). This card will not need to use it's IR Blaster, as it will be tuning everything via it's internal tuner. At this point, what should I use for blasting/receiving? Does IR Server do what I need it to do for this, or is it a combination of plugins? As I haven't setup any remotes as of yet, I've just been using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my setup (I started the whole HTPC about 3 weeks ago...see my join date).
