[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1138387, member: 82144"] As mentioned earlier in the thread: he has taken the blaster cable that he thinks is from the Rosewill transceiver, and plugged it into the blaster connector on the Colossus card. In this scenario, he effectively has a Hauppauge blaster. Either he got lucky in that the IR emitter LED and cable wiring were compatible... or he forgot that the blaster cable actually came with one of the Hauppauge tuners. I already suggested twice that you should have installed the other 2 units before the Colossus, and the blaster may have worked... or simply swap the blaster cable into the HVR 1600. Up to you whether you take the advice that is offered of course. You won't find such a thing. Except for the Hauppauge blaster support in the ServerBlaster plugin, TV Server does not have built-in blaster support. In other words, you need a blaster that is compatible with IRSS... or an alternative solution such as the DirecTV SHEF plugin. My understanding is that people successfully use MCE-compatible and USB-UIRT blasters with IRSS and the TV3 Blaster plugin. Having said all this, I feel like you have options with the Hauppauge blaster. I don't understand why you're not taking them. At the end of the day it's your money and your choice. [/QUOTE]
