[QUOTE="randyh, post: 782188, member: 107988"] Thanks for the info on ServerBlaster. Now that i know more about it i'll probably try IRSS again at some point. During my first half-hearted try at it i was still unable to get it to learn the remote so for now i'll stubbornly pursue ServerBlaster until i've exhausted that possibility. The simplicity of it and working specifically with my remote appeals to me. The bigger challenge is still getting the channels to tune properly. I checked the registry and channels are tuned to 61250000. Agreed. Nothing beats stepping through code so i'll try to get my dev env setup on the HTPC and i'll let you know what i find. I'm still with coax because: [LIST=1] [*]The audio sync issues [*]Running the STB audio right into the soundcard creates significantly higher sound levels - high enough i have to separately adjust the volume on the receiver [*]When i stop live tv, the audio doesn't stop [/LIST] I'm not an AV expert so this may sound dumb but the last point makes me wonder if it's going through the audio codec at all. Setting the audio delay on ffdshow makes no perceivable difference. I've tried every codec combination installed on my machine and the sync problem is consistent. [/QUOTE]
