    I know you can get hold of a blaster in some of the Hauppauge modells (like the MCE kits and the 150 non-MCE), but is there any other way? No stand-alone products?

    USBUIRT is to expensive....

    Ah... that easy!
    So there is only one ver. of the remote from MS (USB), and it has the blaster?

    Thanks!

    There is a European and an US-version of those remotes. Both have the blaster. So just be sure you get the latest MCE2005 remote with coloured teletext buttons and be happy. :wink:

    Your pic shows the US version. The European version has some additional (useful) buttons. You should prefer the European one.

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...

    Hi Steve, nice to see you're still around! The question is a bit broad so it's hard to give a solid anwser. In which part is this happening? My videos/MovingPictures/Onlinevideos? And do you use something like subcentral/subtitledownloader? Also log files in full debug mode of such a playback where it picks the old subtitlefile could...
