[QUOTE="cacti, post: 701071, member: 109111"] Thanks for the reply Rekenaar I did a few tests and I can blast channels to the DSTV decoder if I use the IR Server Translator and the Virtual Remote. When I press any keys on the actual remote nothing happens. If I however open notepad it will print the keys I press on the actual remote. It seems that Windows intercepts the signal and it never gets to IR Server. I get the same results if I test with the IR Server Debug Client. The Windows Media Player service and "Use MCE remote" is disabled. I'm thinking this might be a Windows 7 issue. ... Later .... I disabled the HID service. At least I now pickup the remote button presses in the IR Server Debug Client. I'll look into the blasting problem if I get time tomorrow. So it looks like it's not Windows 7, but the HID service.
