    TV-Card in combination with Set-Top Box


    After using MCE for a couple of years, first on Windows XP MCE and recently switched to Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit), I think it’s time to switch to digital TV. Have been watching analog all this time because the only provider I can choose is UPC, they use a different encoding so you have to use their set-top box on top of a beautiful HTPC...%$#$

    Without any other options left I have decided to get one of these set-top boxes and here comes my problem, I know you could order a ir-blaster from OrigenAE in the past but I can't find that piece of hardware anymore. Also OrigenAE doesn't sell it anymore. So I need a other solution, I have found a card from Hauppauge which includes a ir-blaster but that is PCIe and I only have PCI slots left so that isn't an option either.

    Does anyone here have some tips or solutions for me? TNX

    I'm using this remote and I have a set-top box from comcast, I don't know what the rest of your setup is, but with mine I had to start the setup with the remote for the STB then it would prompt to finish with my Media Center Remote.
    This is the card I'm using it's a PCI card,WinTV-HVR-1600 Product overview
    This is the Remote I'm using,

    Hope that helps you out and Welcome to the forum.
