[QUOTE="exponent2, post: 230921, member: 64510"] I will be recording one time and repetitive events using the EPG. MP will be controlling a satellite STB. Here is what I need to do. At the beginning of the EPG event change channels using STB IR codes <Chan_Num><Enter><START_REC> At the end of the event send another <STOP_REC> code. I want it to be automatic so I dont have to manually schedule the IR codes. I was wondering if I could start the event by modifying the Enter command to include the STB <START_REC> command. Would this work? Where does MP store the learned codes? A problem I suspect I will encounter if I do this is that the <START_REC> command may need some delay before being sent. The other requirement will be harder. How can I get MP to send the <STOP_REC> command automatically at the end of the event. Now the reason I bring this up is that for the STB recordings they are all high def and I have a network drive that the STB feeds the high def recording to and this can then be retrieved by the MP HTPC. The recording the STB makes are excellent but unfortunately the PVR capability in the STB is braindead, scheduling doesn't work on it. Any help here is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
