    Post images of the remote control.
    When you install the drivers for the usb receiver, what is the name in device manager?

    You might want to try the following

    MP Config -> Remotes -> Enable MCE remote control
    Save & Close
    Run mediaportal, report which if any buttons work

    MP Config -> Remotes Disable MCE remote control, enable HID Device
    Save & Close
    Run mediaportal, report which if any buttons work

    Try what I suggested first

    Have you got any software with the remote, when you have it installed, what is it called in device manager?

    Otherwise you need a program that will translate your remote buttons into key strokes.

    However, I'd just buy a new remote, it's so old your gonna always have problems probably.

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...

    Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...

    yes that is indeed what I did in that ticket. It may already be working without updating those plugins because most of it was not relevant to the plugin itself (test, some leftover unused parts etc).
