[QUOTE="luci5r, post: 752684, member: 113478"] motor, I'm not having any success with this. I want to make sure I'm doing this right. I followed your instructions & got to this point ... I keep getting "Failed". Basically I'm pointing my STB Remote at the Colossus IR Reciever (1 ~ 2cm away from it); right after I hit a button on the Blaster Configuration software (For eg, "2"), I then press the "2" button on my STB Remote. A few seconds later I get failed. See Below. [IMG]http://www.rahulsjohari.com/ASSETS/GRUBS/IR4.JPG[/IMG] I have tried different distances; different holding patterns; still getting failed.
