[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1084505, member: 82144"] I'm no expert on blasters but I don't think this is ideal. Your USBUIRT has two ports right - one port for each STB. Ideally you should set the port on the IRSS IR command definitions to match the STB that the commands are intended for. So for example, the "1" command for STB A should be assigned to port 1 (assumption: port 1 is the USB UIRT port that is connected to the blaster for STB A). Otherwise you're blasting to both STBs when you change channel on either of the tuners. You might get away with this configuration due to the different remote control codes... but I'd strongly recommend not using "both" if you can help it. Up to you I guess... There are lots of things you can do to debug. :) In the TVE 3 blaster plugin there is a "test" button which allows you to test sending commands. I'd suggest you start there and confirm that you can manually cause the STBs to change channels that way. If that doesn't work you know you haven't got your IR codes learnt correctly or the STB is not receiving the commands for some reason. To check that commands are being sent, view the blaster through a digital camera. IR can be seen as visible light that way. You should see the blaster blink when you test commands. If you don't you'll know something is wrong with your USB UIRT and/or port configuration.
