USB UIRT MCE remote works but not emitters
Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2008 11:37 pmHello.
I have SageTV 6 running with 2 Hauppauge 250 MCEs. Sage was working fine with 2 coax sources going direct into the tuners. I used a MCE remote with a USB-UIRT to change channels.
I moved and now have 2 DCT700 STBs for Sage. I plug them in via composite and get video. I can use the cable provider's (Comcast) remote to tune the STB direct and it works fine. Using the MCE remote via USB-UIRT doesn't work.
I plug the stereo jack emitter that came with the USB-UIRT into the USB-UIRT and put the emitter right infront of the STB. I try and change the channel and get nothing.
I deleted my sources and when I add them I select USB-UIRT as the external tuner and get the following error:
"Failed Setting the Infrared Transmitter port. Please ensure that it is connected and no other programs are using it".
I downloaded the newest USB UIRT drivers and run the uninstall that came with it but it says it can't find the driver. I look in my device manager and don't see an obvious device. I do have "Microsoft eHome Infrared transceiver" but don't know if thats it or if i installed a wrong driver years ago.
I try and update the driver with the downloaded one but it says the hardware isn't right.
Anything I can do to get this working?
Thanks!
