    Im trying to set up MP with e700 remote (like the one HERE)

    I tried the MCE remote option with MP initially, but that doesnt work with most of the buttons

    Then tried intelliremote - doesnt recognise the remote. at all.

    Just installed HIP which appears to have a conflict of interests with Vista x64 (instant crash)

    So, before embarking on a potentially long and arduous journey of remote faffing-around, I thought Id ask the obvious question and see if anyone else has had any luck with this item. If so, pointers on how it got to working would be appreciated :)

    Hi,
    Bought one a few weeks back.
    My system would not even start.
    Took it back to supplier and got money back.
    Some sort of motherboard / card conflict.

    ...No Luck

    Recently purchased Winfast PxDVR3200H rather than dual DVB-T to get FM
    Back to where I started. No remote.

    :-(

    Hi Jim / all.

    In my attempts to get a remote working with my new installation I have [possibly] 'foolishly' just purchased a Compro Vista E650F.
    They claim it is a HID compliant device and works with MCE [I don't have MCE installed].
    It has HID drivers that I have installed.

    I am getting absolutely nothing in MP, intelliremote or HIP [Win XP SP3]

    VideoMate [Compro card] HID seen in system devices.

    I'm looking like I might be off to the local PC store to get my 4th card with my fingers crossed.

    Should 'we' have a register for known TV cards that work/ Don't work/ remotes don't work?

    My findings to date [unless I've missed some other driver or similar] are that Winfast and Compro card/s work [remotes do not].

    Any thoughts / help would be appreciated.

    Henry


    Upon closer testing and inspection it seems there is a component of their software that needs to be installed and running.
    It is called ComproRemote.exe and was installed when I installed their software suite for testing [I did not want to do].

    Problem fixed
    Install Compro software.
    Remove / disable their primary "ComproScheduleDTV.exe" software.
    Leave their remote "ComproRemote.exe" software running.
