Thanks Lee, that's exactly what I figured. I'll purchase an PVR-150 with the Hauppage remote instead and get an IR transmitter from <a href="http://irblaster.info">irblaster.info</a>. Much appreciated!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<br>> One more question:<br>><br>> I've read in the archives that the MCE remote will work, but what<br>> about the IR blaster? Will this have to be replaced with on from<br>> <a href="http://irblaster.info">
irblaster.info</a> <<a href="http://irblaster.info/">http://irblaster.info/</a>> or similar?<br>><br>The Windows MCE remote consists of the remote that hold in your hand and<br>a receiver which picks up the Infra Red signals, this a small box which
<br>plugs into a a spare USB port.<br><br>The remote do work, but have issues, in that you need the right version<br>of LIRC to make it work...<br><br>The receiver also has a couple of socket on the back of it where you can
<br>plug in supplied IR transmitters that can control set top boxes<br>(cable/satellite box) HOWEVER, the IR blaster/transmit function do not<br>work under Linux due to a lack of drivers, so if you need to control an<br>separate box, then you will need some other IR blaster hardware...
