[QUOTE="3dOptics, post: 546225, member: 84412"] I am using the "eHome Infrared Receiver(USBCIR)" driver. I was able to learn the remote using Translator for my Motorola set-top box. I tested the remote codes with the set-top and it works great. I sent out 200 blasts each about 1 second apart. Every time the set-top box received the IR signal. I have been having problems with my other set-top box. I was able to learn the remote codes using Translator. When I test the codes every once in a while the set-top box does not respond to the IR signal. When the problem occurs I can see the red light on the IR blaster flash but the green "remote" light on my set-top box does not flash. I opened the channel 0 remote code in "IR File Tool" and clicked "Attempt Decode". I received a message that said "Protocol: Unknown Code: 31909911", when I clicked the ok button I got another message that said "Protocol: NEC Code: 488". Then another message "Use this protocol's carrier frequency (38000)?" I clicked "yes" and then saved the file as "0-test". I tested the remote code and the problem still occurred. I have a Hauppauge HVR-1600 tv tuner that has a dedicated IR Blaster. I wanted to see if the problem was with the MCE IR blaster/IR Server suite or the set-top box. My set-top box is in the Hauppauge blaster code database that is built into the program. I used the same IR emitter that I used with the MCE blaster.
