[QUOTE="doodfood, post: 41798, member: 17456"] Hi All, I've got MediaPortal working nicely with free digital transmissions - this is my present set up. MediaPortal 0.1.3.0 Athlon XP 2500+ 1.5gb ddr 300Gb Seagate HD Nvidia 6600GT AGP Ultraview HDTV Plus (This is supposed to be identical to the Divco Fusion Plus I think) Windows XP I want to expand this to be able to record and playback Foxtel from my Foxtel STB and wanted to get some advice on buying an IR Blaster. I will be looking to purchase a PVR 150MCE to use for inputting the Foxtel since it is supposed to have hardware encoding for analog inputs which my Ultraview does not. 1. I have a remote and receiver that came with the Ultraview, I'm pretty sure this can't be used as an IR blaster correct? 2. How do the blasters work, do they have a remote + receiver and the receiver acts as a blaster? 3. I've read in the forums people suggesting an MCE blaster for easiest setup with MediaPortal. I live in Australia does anyone know where to get one of these and will it work for what I want to do? I'm happy to order international if anyone can suggest a site which sells and ships them internationally. Since I already have a working remote control I don't need another one, can I get an MCE blaster without the remote for a couple of bucks cheaper from somewhere? Can anyone suggest good units that they know to work with MediaPortal and preferably Foxtel? 4. Is a PVR 150MCE a good choice for using the analog inputs with Media Portal and Foxtel? I'm assuming that with a bit of fiddling I should be able to get MediaPortal to know about Foxtel programs and schedule/record in the same awesome way as it does regular TV? Thanks for your help, MediaPortal rocks even if I can't get this upgrade working. It's amazing how much good stuff is actually on TV. Nothing better then coming home firing up MediaPortal and having several hours worth of good TV to watch, keep up the excellent work! :) Akhil [/QUOTE]
