Is it possible to use this (IR server suite) to receive remote signals using the standard IrDA port on a PC?

    IrDA uses a different carrier bandwitdh than regular remote controls so it's no possible, I'm afraid.

    It's kind of like saying can you use your webcam to take themographic images. In theory they use the same methods, but just not quite.

    I've explained this in a lot more detail in a number of very old posts.

    Cheers and sorry for the bad news,
    Marcus.

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

    Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...

    I think 1.38 is easier, it's a minor addition, judging by the lack of bugs, 1.39 is still a long way off. Ideally, the TuningParameters settings would be moved to MPE1, along with all the skins. Then any minor fixes could be updated quickly.
