[QUOTE="Heina, post: 777604, member: 66684"] 'ello I personally use a Logitech Harmony 300 for my remote which should be locally available in SA. For my IR & Blasting I use the USB UIRT, which unfortunately is not locally available. The Hauppauge PVR 150 includes blinkers to blast your dstv set-top box, but that will require you to buy a new PCTV card & i think it is getting a bit long the tooth - because of a driver issue you will not be able to upgrade your HTPC's Memory to 4GB or above. Maybe you can look at some of the newer Hauppauge cards - they are well supported by MediaPortal. I would try to find one that comes with a MCE kit if you look at [url=http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/South_Africa_MUG]South Africa MUG - MythTV Official Wiki[/url] you will see there is a person building IR Receiver/Transmitters for the South African market - I have no idea if this is or can be supported by MediaPortal Im pretty sure the IRSS plugin will support the above mentioned IR transmitter though - it is a very thorough IR plugin and one I recommend using Best of Luck [/QUOTE]
