I didn't know the blaster worked on the MCE remote. I have hauppauge MCE remote. Will it work on that model? I kind of looks like the one on the link but it doesn't have the colored buttons on the bottom.<br><br>

Had this problem too. Main thing is to change your set channel script<br>to call "irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 1" (assuming your blaster is plugged<br>into the 1 port) before sending the digits. The other gotcha that is
<br>apparently rare, but took me more than a week to figure out, is that the<br>mceusb2 blaster is very bright - too bright for some receivers. I need<br>to attenuate the blaster LED in order to change channels successfully
<br>once everything was installed.<br><br>Cheers,<br> mik<br><br>Oliver Brown wrote:<br>> Hi,<br>><br>> I have a HVR-1300 which came with the MCE USB IR receiver/blaster (the<br>> newest one). The receiving part works fine but I can't get the blaster
