Integration of the USBUIRT remote control receiver/xmitter device is now standard in MediaPortal. If you have this popular device, you can use virtually any IR remote control, program it for the most commonly used MediaPortal buttons, and throw your mouse and keyboard away [figuratively].
The USBUIRT device drivers have to be installed first into your O/S. Visit www.usbuirt.com/support.htm for more details.
In Tools>Options, enable USBUIRT for Input. Click Learn Internal Commands, and follow the instructions.
If your TV Tuner is of the external kind, i.e. You are using a cable box, VCR, etc. that needs to be selected for viewing channels [and MediaPortal is receiving the signal by composite or S-Video input] select Enable USBUIRT for Output [External TUNERS] checkbox, and install an IR transmitter into the USBUIRT output jack. See documentation with device. Then when you want to change channels on MediaPortal, the corresponding IR signal is sent to your external Tuner. You must click Learn Tuner Commands, and follow the prompts.
If you want to address the channels directly without haveing to scan the list, and you have 3 digit inputs, select the Tuner has 3 Digits check box. This means that you can enter a channel number of 169, by simply pressing those digits. If your tuner also requires an acknowlegement of your input, then select Tuner Needs Enter After Changing Channel check box.
