[QUOTE="StijnS, post: 725396, member: 100312"] Hi everyone, Today I installed the IR receiver that came with my Hauppage PVR-350 TV card. The remote (34 buttons) works perfectly with MediaPortal. But I got one problem: MediaPortal also responds to the remote of my Television: a Philips SBC RP 520 remote.

The TV itself doesn't respond to commands from the Hauppauge remote. Is it possible to filter these commands from the TV remote out?
