Windows 7 64-bit, MCE Receiver, Dish Network STB, GBPVR... IRSS Cannot Learn Codes (1 Viewer)

[BTJustice]

I cannot figure this out for the life of me. I open the Translator, click on the IR Commands tab, click the new button, click the Learn button, point my Dish Network remote very close at my MCE Receiver, press 1 (or any other number), and the code never gets learned.

I did the registry edit and deleted the keys listed in the HELP file for IRSS to keep Media Center from running.

What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I use GBPVR for recording shows or at least I use to when I was still running Windows XP.

The latest version of IRSS (Test Build 1.4.2.3064) just doesn't work with 64-bit Windows 7 (and probably 64-bit Windows Vista).

IR Server Suite - Test Build 1.4.2.2975 works just fine. I have attached it to this post so anyone else suffering from the hours long headache I had might get over it.

In GBPVR, the -pad option in the command line is not needed. It was actually messing up channel changing for me until I removed it. So now I use...

-host localhost -channel {channel}

Also, to allow GBPVR to change channels, be sure to go to Services in Administrative Tools, find GB-PVR Recording Service on the list, open it, go to the Log On tab, and check the box in front of Allow service to interact with desktop.
