[QUOTE="bigbadsi, post: 66952, member: 23150"] vbgeezer, I have a few questions about your experiences in using Sky digtal and Mediaportal in New Zealand. I use a RF mouse/keyboard combo ([url]http://www.btc.com.tw/english/2-7-21keyboard.htm#9019urf[/url]) to control Mediaportal. This works very well. I also have a Hauppauge PVR-150 that has s-video and composite in. I'm trying to get my head around the whole Sky/Mediaportal interface. Is this how it works?: 1. Set Capture Card video/audio mapping of the TV card to the relevant inputs on the TV card, i.e. S-video-in and audio-in. 2. Map the individual TV Channels to the numbered channels on the Sky box using Type "Received by external settop box" and defining the inputs used in 1. 3. Configure the MPExTuneCmd plugin to execute the USBUIRT controller executable. 3. Configure the USBUIRT controller software to send the correct channel change signals to the Sky box. At this stage I have neither a USBUIRT nor USBUIRT controller software. My questions: 1. Do you know if all Sky Digital boxes are the same in terms of IR signalling (do they use a standard non-configurable remote) and which Sky box do you have and which remote came with it? 2. What restrictions have you found in using this interface and configuration? 3. Which USBUIRT do you use? 4. What USBUIRT software do you use? 4. Am I completely off base with my assumptions? I would certainly like to see whatever configuration files you can make available, particularly the codes that you send via the MPExTuneCmd plugin to the USBUIRT controller software. Cheers [/QUOTE]
