[QUOTE="bobgroz, post: 548632, member: 100431"] I have (forced by cable company) had to install a "digital converter set top box". I purchased a windows media center IR BLASTER to change the channels on the box. How do I set this up in media portal? All around the country, cable companies are forcing customers to get these digital converter boxes so their TV's will still work (they convert a digitial signal to analog signal for analog TV's - like my Hauppauge PRV 350 Tv Tuner card, for example). The cable companies are giving no choice in this. The days of directly connecting coax to your tv card are fast ending, and the necessity of IR BLASTER setups is becoming BASIC setup for PVR setups. I need specific step by step instructions how to set up my IR BLASTER under Media Portal. I've searched around and cannot find anything on the subject. Thank You, Bob [/QUOTE]
