[QUOTE="hardcorehire, post: 497674, member: 71522"] I know all the information is out there, but at this point there is so much information out there it is hard to find what you are looking for so here is what I would like to accomplish. I would like to at the least change channels on my Time Warner cable box DCH-6200 STB over firewire. I just installed a new 1394a Firewire card and connected it to my PC and plugged in my STB. I tried using Tim Moores firestb and am having problems. I got the AV/Panel and unkown to install, but when I go to install the Tuner it acts like it is going to install and then has an error saying: Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it? The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect I have no idea what to do about that. I am running server 2008. Regardless if I can get it installed what other programs do I need to install to control STB over Firewire. I read about IRRS and ExternalChannel Changer and MCE replacement plugin. What exactly do you need and how do you set it up. I installed external channel changer on TV server, but when I go to that plugin I don't see anything come up on the screen it just shows me the last tab I was on. Also is there a way to watch live TV over the firewire port yet? I would like to watch tv and change channel over firewire if possible. I LOVE mediaportal and have everything working fine, but struggle with the best way to watch live tv using Set Top Box. PLEASE HELP!!!!! [/QUOTE]
