[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1238745, member: 82144"] My take is that the situation is not clear. Some people [URL='http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-theater-computers/2502938-alternative-usb-uirt-windows-10-a.html']report problems[/URL]; other people [URL='https://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63926']report no problems[/URL]. The nature of forums is that they tend to be used as places to report problems and/or vent, so I'd expect to find far more reports of problems than of success. The contact link is meant to open a new email to [email]support@usbuirt.com[/email]. It will [I]appear[/I] not to work if you don't have an email client on your system. I'm not convinced there's a problem... but ultimately the decision is yours. I've already explained all the options: [LIST=1] [*]Current setup => control a single STB, and [B]maybe[/B] receive the current channel from the second STB. [*]USB-UIRT => control both STBs. [*]MCE-compatible transceiver => control both STBs. [/LIST] Those are the choices. Like I said previously, I'd like you to make the decision about whether you're going to use the Hauppauge blaster or not up front. That's to save time for both of us.
