[QUOTE="luiciphier, post: 48440, member: 19880"] Having installed several versions of the drivers, your reply prompted me to try once more, as I was no longer sure what the current, mostly working ones were. So I popped on over to Hauppauge, downloaded the MCE drivers and installed. And suddenly no TV at all! So I then installed the regular PVR 150 drivers (as opposed to those listed for MCE). And back to normal. I read the blurb on the same MCE download page and it states "The WinTV-PVR MCE products only include the board plus driver, and do not include the remote control." So, I'm then looking at my TV card box and it states I have the "WinTV PVR 150 Media Center Kit" and the model number is 1063. What is the difference? I'm assuming now that the words "Media Center Kit" and "MCE-KIT" on the packaging and the references on E-Buyer to MCE do not necessarily mean I have the MCE version and that in fact I have the regular version plus Hauppauge Remote and Blaster. Or something... I'm also assuming that as the regular PVR 150 flavour drivers MOSTLY work, that I should stick with these, and also that my intial worry about not using XP MCE might not be an issue. However, this leaves me confused as I now have contradicting descriptions about what I actually own - it says MCE all over the packaging, and refers to upgrading XP Media Center Edition, yet the MCE drivers don't work at all (although they give me tons of new options within Media Portal, just not one to choose an input port!). [url]www.WTF.com?[/url] I suppose in the end, I just don't care, I want my MTV. Well, I want the IR Blaster to start up so I can use the software to change channels in my cable box, impress my friends, avoid divorce, spend more time recording TV and playing MP3's and spend NO TIME lying on my stomach in front of the TV hurling abuse at the PC. Cos my back hurts. I could send the kit back and get another, or even just the IR Blaster if it's a hardware fault, but if it's not, I've just spent beer tokens on nothing and as I've read other reports of the same (sadly with no follow up solutions, nor reports of faulty hardware), i'm not convinced it's faulty. Yet. I'm hoping that someone out there has experienced the same, has been sleeping all week and is going to rise fully energised from their hibernation for their weekly weekend revels, pop in here, see my cry for help and give me a 30 second fail safe solution. You can do it, Super-Hauppauge-Expert-Guy - I know you're out there, somewhere... [/QUOTE]
