Re: ATI TV Wonder 600 USB-IR Hardware not detected

When doing a setup for something other than direct connection (OTA antenna
or cable coax), you need to have an MC compatible remote kit, which would
include the IR Receiver/Blaster needed to complete your setup. It sounds
like the remote you got with tuner is not an MC compliant one. Here is an
example of a MC remote kit:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16880121001

You can see it includes the receiver and emitter (blaster) needed to control
your set top box, without those MC has no way to change the channels.

You can work around this by using a coax connection, tell MC that you have
an antenna connection, and leave the MC computer tuned to channel 3/4 (which
ever your cable box uses) and just manually change the channels on the cable
box, but that kind of defeats one of the points of having a DVR (i.e.,
unattended recordings).

Jaime is 1/2 right

computer tuned to channel 3/4 (which
your cable box uses) and just manually change the channels on the cable
box, but that kind of defeats one of the points of having a DVR (i.e.,

Not sure what is 1/2 right, you repeated what I said.

BTW, you need to find different translation software, the one you are using
doesn't seem to do a very good job )

It might be the wetware...

Let's give him credit for trying, and for trying to be helpful.
