My blaster just stopped working. The red light doesnt even blink anymore on the little IR bug. I am at a loss for any ideas on how to see if its a hardware failure. Any ideas?

ok, i got another blaster bug from teh cable guy today. this one wont blink either.

had to restart the Input Service. When I was messing around, it stopped blasting again. Restarting the input service solves the issue, but why is this happening?

yes and no. It does have this issue on resuming from sleep, however it also has this issue randomly even if the PC hasnt been put to sleep. Is it possible that MediaCenter can be messing with things? I have noticed that sometimes when this happens MediaCenter has been opened due to MC shortcuts on my remote being pushed.

The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

Thanks very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)
