Source#1: Dish Network (S-Video input) on Hauppauge PVR-150 (comes with 45-button remote & IR Blaster)
Source#2: Hauppauge HVR-950 USB stick (for watching local OTA/ATSC digital channels)
This is my first "experiment" with MP (I installed RC4 on Monday), and so far so good (I think). I do, however, have two questions -- and can't really proceed until I get a better understanding on both:
1) Can anyone tell me the *best* way to set up channels from two different sources? I have an annual SchedulesDirect subscription (for U.S. -- and yes, I've got the SD plugin installed), but currently have things set up as two different lineups (one for Dish Network, and one for local digital OTA channels). Does anyone know if the SD plugin will get channels from both lineups, or do I need to do something differently?
2) How do I get the Hauppauge IR blaster to work in MP? I've seen forum postings about IR Server Suite, etc., but when I install it, there is no "transmit" checkbox for Hauppauge remote. But I see quite a few postings indicating that it *does* indeed work, so there must be a way. Obviously, I need the blasting only for Dish Network set-top box, but not for the OTA/ATSC channels (they'll tune using built-in tuner on HVR-950).
Thanks in advance!
