Not sure if you figured this out already, but I've spent quite some time trying to make this work. I just started with HTPC project and used MP. I bought a Hauppauge PVR150MCE with MCE Kit, which comes with eHome remote, receiver and one IR blaster. I got very frustrated by Hauppauge drivers and everything related to that - their software is old, crappy, crashes and support is just plain bad - there were no single word anywhere (and I searched a lot!) about the fact that all the IR drivers that come with that card are useless... Well, now I know that - MCE remote kit has nothing to do with Hauppauge drivers, so don't even bother installing them.Next, MP wasn't picking up the fact that I want to control a set-top box (STB). And how would I know what I need to do? Anyway, there are few plugins for MP that suppose to help you with that, but there is only one that actually worked for me - MCE Replacement Plugin (<a href="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/Download/Plugins/Input/MCEReplacementPlugin/" target="_blank">here</a>).Once you install it you need to open it's configuration to teach it digits from your remote (0-9) and Enter/OK key... Then test it from the same config screen and your STB. Try to play with delay timing - my box is quite sensitive to that and I still have issues with changing channels, but at least it works most of the times (but I get pissed off when it doesn't record proper shows because of this). This plugin is somewhat advanced and confusing - I would prefer to have Basic and Advanced modes for configuring it - would be waaaay easier. Also, I think it may be important, on the main screen of the config window UNCHECK 'Use MCE remote' - with this checked all of my key presses were repeated twice..Well, hope this helps.</blockquote>
