Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pom" data-source="post: 79526" data-attributes="member: 23933">One for the 'teccies'...Guys, i need some help/advice with this rather technical problem....From what i've read the USBUIRT does not support IrDA so am not going to take the risk on my wallet (Alander - unless you can confirm your Pace box is the DI1010T model in which case i'll eat my words).The Red-Eye translator device (see posts/links above) looks like my best chance to get MP controlling my STB. HOWEVER it doesn't appear possible to 'teach' MP/MyBlaster to learn the STB remote codes since the translater only converts from RC6 => IrDA (not vice versa). In other words, during the MyBlaster 'learning' process the MCE IR unit will still be receiving IrDA transmissions from the remote which is no good!On the Red-Eye translator website it gives instructions on how to get it controlling Pace (IrDA) STB's in Windows XP MCE and it involves NO learning process, just simply enter the channel numbers in MCE then it supposedly works. My guess is that since the Red-Eye translates from RC6 into IrDA, then obvioulsy no learning is required if the MCE Blaster outputs RC6 signals (which i hope it does!)So my question is.... what's the chances of this working the same way in Media Portal i.e. by simply entering the STB channel numbers in MP channel set-up then requesting MP to change channels? I assume that character codes are all explicit in RC6 format and you can't have different RC6 remotes outputting different codes for the same character (just on different carrier frequencies)?  In particular the characters 0-9, CH+, CH- and ENTER.Also, if this was to work then i'd obviously want to be able to change channels using my (Hauppauge) MCE remote. At the moment MP doesn't respond to the number buttons on my remote - how would i resolve this?Please help!</blockquote>
