[QUOTE="HKMe, post: 234056, member: 24118"] I'm having issues trying to use the IR Server Suite to blast my STB. The program learns the IR codes and appears to blast them correctly (IR emitters light up), but the STB generally doesn’t respond. The emitters are right up against the STB IR receiver. If I move the emitter around a fraction of a millimeter at a time while repeatedly pressing the test button in the program, the STB will pick up about 1 out of every 50 transmissions. Using the same hardware, XP MCE learns the codes and blasts the STB correctly from a distance of up to 30cm with 100% success rate. I can also use my Onkyo multi-remote (RC-511M) to learn the STB remote codes and operated the STB. If I use IR Server Suite to learn the cloned codes from the Onkyo remote instead, I still get the same problem. I can however use the IR Server Suite to learn and correctly blast my Onkyo amp.
