[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1154002, member: 82144"] The STB should respond if the blaster is sending the proper codes. Does the STB respond? If not then it seems likely you have not learnt the blast codes properly. Again, when you preview a channel, the TV3 Blaster plugin should automatically blast the corresponding channel number to the STB. Does the blaster "pulse" when you use preview? First, please understand that the "port" is the receiver/blaster selection. My understanding is that your USB-UIRT has one receiver and two blasters; hence the three ports. Presumably you only have one blaster attached to the STB. Therefore only one of the port values is expected to work correctly. The other values might pulse... but that doesn't mean that the STB is receiving the commands. While testing, you should be monitoring the USB-UIRT for pulsing and the front panel on the STB (or equivalent) to confirm the STB is receiving the commands. Now, getting back to what you were saying... "Here" (in External Channel Changing) is the critical place that the port must be set correctly... for each command (0, 1, 2, etc.). The port setting when you learn is just for testing. As I said earlier, the learn process is meant to be: [LIST=1] [*]Hold remote very close to USB UIRT receiver. [*]Click "learn". [*]Press (and hold???) the remote button until learning is complete. [*]Chose the port [U]to test the command with[/U]. [*]Click "test". This will send the command to the selected port so that you can see whether the command was learned correctly. [/LIST] If you didn't test the commands when you learnt them then you can't know that the commands have been learnt correctly. They have different purposes, as described above. One (learn) is only for testing during learning; the other is the configured value that will be used by MediaPortal, preview etc. Let's be clear! When you say "work", you mean "pulse", right? ...but the STB isn't actually receiving/acknowledging the commands, so I would have said they're not actually working. I can't tell you which port to use. You will have to figure that out by trial and error. This is what the "test" functions are for. [/QUOTE]
