[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1300017, member: 141969"] 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 box thinks that the IR signal originated from your IR remote control. If you type the string [b]IR emitter[/b] into the Amazon search box, you will find a selection of IR emitters, but I don't know which would work with your equipment. Some of the devices listed are IR repeaters, which are [b]not[/b] what you want. To be honest, I think that you are facing quite a challenge, since no one here has any knowledge of IR emitters and set-top boxes. Good luck. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
