Hey guys!

After I disabled the Antec Fusion Remote (too sensitive and imprecise), I changed for the Hauppauge remote:
http://www.hauppauge.eu/boutique_us/images_produits/1111111.jpg

Normally, there's the possibility to configure the remote directly in MediaPortal. Since there's no error output, I thought that this way must work but theres no reaction after I press a button. If I use the option "Universal HID", the remote works fine. Funnily enough is every key perfectly mapped, the labels on the remote are all correct.

So I've got two problems: First of all, I don't know how to change buttons. The power button for example causes a closure of MediaPortal, but I want it to shutdown the computer.
Second: The bigger problem. The signal overlays with the one of the TVs remote! So if I increase the volume, MediaPortal goes crazy.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it possible that I have to use another software, like EventGhost or something?

edit:
I noticed that I had the "Universal HID" AND the Hauppauge remote activated in the configuration. But now, the latter works even if I disable the general HID, I don't know why. So it was possible to map the power button like I wanted but the second problem rests. Seems that I bought the only TV which remote overlays with the hauppauge remote -.-

But now, there's another issue: With the iMon remote, I can wake up the PC from standby or even when it is turned off. How to do this with the Hauppauge remote? Theres no such point in the windows energy management of the IR-reciever.

Does anyone know if this is possible??

I don't know if it's actually possible. The IR reciever of the iMon remote is integrated into the case, but connected via USB. Maybe the Windows energy administration doesn't support power during standby for PCI devices.

actually you're not alone with the tv remote issue, mine does it too so i stopped using it, after all the pc remote has a volume on it as well.
the option to shut down the pc instead of closing mp is available in mp configuration options or was ,if not edit the haup xml file manually.
As for wakeup features this depends on many issues and is a bit flaky some mainboards will only power certain usb or pci slots in low power state and if there is no power there, the signal can't get thru.
