I am able to get the remote working with MP straight out of the box. However, for the life of me, cannot get the blasters to change the channel on my sky stb. I have been searching on the forums for 2 days now to try and get it working but no success yet. Let me explain what I have attempted so far: 1) I have installed MP 1.0 RC4 without TVServer (Not sure I need it as I am only ever going to watch tv in one location).

However, when I change the channels within MP I do not see any blasts on the IR blaster eye. WHY???:S Attached are the log files under this scenario. 2) Having a look on the forums I thought maybe I DO need to install TV server to get the blasting to work. So I uninstalled MP and re-installed it, this time, with TVServer. I did all the configurations as required. Once again, I got the same outcome - the Test blasts work fine from the plugin both in TVServer config and MP config. However, when I change channels there are no blasts being transmitted.:( I then tried copying over the patch for TV3Server plugin but when I did this, I found that the Test blasts from both plugins would not work and gave me dialog box saying "Cannot test blast since it is not connected to an active IR Server". Once I removed the 3 patch files that I added and checked, the test works again but still no blasts when I change channels. I have now gone back to my earlier setup (i.e. no TVServer) but basically I cannot get MP to blast my Sky box for changing channels.:( Could someone please help. [/QUOTE]
