[QUOTE="sdlitvin, post: 843805, member: 103898"] I've got the Hauppauge Colossus card on my Windows 7 computer, taking from a DirecTV set-top box. Months ago, I had set up [B]blastcfg.exe[/B] successfully to blast MediaPortal channel changes to the set-top box via Hauppauge's IR blaster. Everything worked well--until yesterday. Until yesterday. Yesterday, I tried to watch TV programs, but I soon noticed that Hauppauge was not sending the right IR codes to the set-top box anymore. (This has nothing to do with MP, because Windows Media Center and WinTV 7 were having the same problem.) Sure enough, somehow [B]blastcfg.exe[/B] had redefined most of its IR codes to some other codes, even though I hadn't used any of these applications for several days. I had to go back into [B]blastcfg.exe[/B] and redefine the IR codes all over again. I also have a separate application, [URL='http://www.wdpsoftware.com/']IRCommand2[/URL], which I taught to blast the IR codes for such things as putting up the DirecTV Program Guide, listing the programs recorded on the DirecTV DVR, etc. Those IR codes, [B]blastcfg.exe[/B] had screwed up too. I had to go into [B]blastcfg.exe[/B] and redefine those too. Anybody encountered anything like that with [B]blastcfg[/B]? I know that some folks have had trouble getting [B]blastcfg[/B] to blast IR codes. But I had already done that, and somehow yesterday [B]blastcfg.exe[/B] forgot everything I had taught it! [/QUOTE]
