MCE Remote control & MCE Keyboard

[Bellerophon]

Has anybody noticed with W7 Beta a reduction in working functionality of either or both of the above. My volume and back buttons on both have stopped working.

I thought it might be the hardware at first but I switched over to Vista MCE and they work fine.

I can't get my Pinnacle Remote Kit to work at all! It didn't require any drivers under Vista so I figured it would work just the same in 7.

At least yours functions somewhat!

can't get MCE remote (M$) to work, can't setup live TV, install of drivers for
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-850 Hybrid Adapter 1230 USB 2.0 Interface appears ok but you must install app in order to complete install, TV setup fails whether WinTV installed or not.
All Works fine in Vista Ultimate SP1 and SP2b

I have the Logitech wireless Wave Keyboard mouse combo and works perfect and also have a Harmony 880 that works a little different with the HD channels in the HVR1800 tuner have to hit stop button on remote first to open guide to change channels or else it says tuner is in comflict. I also have issues with losing the sound at different times in the shows but recorded play is perfect.

i have the MCE remote & k/board, and everything works fine.

now if only i could get my Linksys DMA2100 working as it should

Microsoft Keyboard working fine here, too (on 7 x86). Wonder if it's an x64 issue.

What architecure?

What architecure are you running? x86 or x86?

What is really annoying is that I have a Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT (dual tuner) card and the Terratec remote for that, works perfectly when operating MCE using it!!

Oops sorry Mate, meant to say im on x64. i will adjust my profile. i know this probably sounds overly simplistic, but did you leave the IR receiver usb connection plugged in when you installed 7? Im sure you probably did, but that is the only thing i can think of? i guess that even if you didnt 7 would probably still recognise it when you did plug it in.

also, have you tried removing it, sitting it in another usb slot, and rebooting. i used to sometimes lose the conection with vista and that would work for me.

sorry i cant be of more help to you

Thanks for the info, yes have tried these things, strange it is just a couple of functions on both. Maybe it will get ironed out in some MS update or a new beta, if one comes out.

I am running x86 version and I have also lost some functionality in the mce remote. I cannot use the back button which renders it pretty much useless.

 

[settingsun]

Sorry forgot to add that I went from win7 x64 to the x86 believing it was a x64 issue but no still the same issue in x86

 

[Bellerophon]

Fixed

Proud to say that in RC1 (build 7057 x64), that the media centre remote problems that I was experiencing have disappeared and my MCE Remote is now back fully functioning...phew!

I have the same problem I Use the W7 RC 7100 french version

My volume and back buttons on both have stopped working after several hours of using

Did you found a solution or it is a bug of this version ?

I do not have any problem with vista SP1

Thanks fopr your help

Hi everyone. I'm Mike.

I have a Speed MCR-1049 IR Remote control and IR Receiver that I bought as a set. They worked fine in Vista, but have lost the functionality of the skip and replay buttons (my favourite ones for skipping thru ads).

I borrowed a friend's Microsoft one (Remote and IR Receiver) and they work fine.

So I am thinking I might need a driver or a new remote. I can't seem to find where to get a driver for this Speed remote.

Anyone else have one of these remotes?

 

[razy60]

got the remote and keyboard set, seems to work ok, Although i now have a wireless keyboard as my tower now sits out of site and the ir receiver is ugly:sarc:

Running 7100 x86 here and no problems with the MCE remote so far. The remote also worked in build 7000 and 7068 without problems.

 

[Mike264]

OK, so those of you who's remotes are no longer fully functioning, are your remotes AND IR receivers the real McCoy, geniune Microsoft badged??
