Compro e700 dual tuner REMOTE - anyone had any luck with MP? (1 Viewer)

[etheesdad]

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.

:-(

PS VERY happy with my $60 Aldi / fission / AF9015 BDA USB stick
Everything is perfect.

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.

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.

Jim,
Did you ever get the E700 working [this remote problem]?
