[QUOTE="nicolasqueen, post: 251875, member: 62333"] Hello, I have posted on here several times seeking help on different things but I have failed in getting GBPVR or Mediaportal set up. I am currently using Vista Media Center and it sucks. I recently added Starz and HBO to my cable account and if I am wanting to record a program to watch later I have to pray it doesn't come up with a Blue Screen saying I can't watch the program I recorded. Here are my specs: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHZ 1GB of RAM Windows Vista Home Premium Nvidia Geforce 8600 GTS and, of course, my 2 Hauppauge HVR 1600 cards I also have a Microsoft Remote Model 1039 and this has an IR blaster resembling the one in this picture: [IMG]http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/directron/xpmediactrl2.jpg[/IMG] These send signals to two STB's. In Media Center they work fine. When I try to use GBPVR I have several issues. When I go to add my cards I don't see two Hauppauge 1600 present when I put a check in "Only show devices connected to this machine". Instead, I see a 1600 and a 1500. Also I am unsure what board numbers I should assign. I have had little issue getting my EPG to work but I am kind of unsure whether I have it set up correctly to update nightly. In Mediaportal I have met with similar yet even more issues. Personally, I found the learning curve high but maybe I am just tired. I think I added the cards right because I was able to get a picture, but no sound. I also totally failed in getting an EPG and blaster even started inside it. My two biggest issues lie in getting Live TV to show a picture (all I get is a black, staticy screen). Second, I have found it nearly impossible to get the channel changer to work. I originally set it to MCE 2005 IR Blaster but no luck. Searching on the GBPVR and other forums I followed several tutorials for getting HIP or IR Server Suite to work. I found HIP almost impenetrable. Such as when I went into "Edit IR Commands" to get the commands from my STB remote I get constant errors trying to learn an IR command. In IR Server Suite I was able to learn commands but they blast to both STB's! I am unable to make it send to one or the other. I am hoping to soon be able to make this work. Please, if you can, HELP!
