Configuring the IR Blaster
The IR RemoteBlaster lets the HD PVR change the channel on a satellite or cable
TV set top box by transmitting ‘channel change’ commands to the box via an Infra
Red (IR) transmitter. The IR RemoteBlaster consists of two components:
1. IR Blaster cable. This cable has an IR cable jack and an IR transmitter.
The IR cable jack plugs into the back of the HD PVR, and the IR transmitter
needs to be positioned over the IR receiver on your set top box using the self
stick tape supplied on the front of the transmitter.
2. IR Blaster Config program (BlasterCfg.EXE) for configuring the codes for
the IR transmitter.
During the installation of the HD PVR software from the Installation CD-ROM, the
Hauppauge IR Blaster applications will be automatically installed. You will be asked
during the IR software installation to acknowledge a software license.
Every time you boot Windows, the IR32 application should automatically run. You
will notice a small IR icon in your system device tray.
Configuring the IR Blaster
The IR Blaster Configuration program, can be found in the Program Groups /
Hauppauge WinTV. Run BlasterCfg.EXE
Select the Device (cable or satellite), then Vendor/Model of your set top box.
The CodeSet will contain a list of codes which IR Blaster knows about the selected
Vendor. There might be as many as ten codes for the Vendor chosen.
On Blaster Config, click the Power On/Off button. You should see the IR
transmitter blink after each click of the Power On/Off button. If your set top box
turns on or off, then this code is the correct one for your set top box. If not,
click Test Next. Continue to click Test Next until your set top box turns on or off, at
which time you have found the correct code.
If you cannot find a code which works with your set top box
-First make sure the IR transmitter is positioned over the remote sensor on your
set top box. Remember, the IR transmitter has a very short transmission distance
and needs to be positioned over the remote sensor on your set top box.
-Next, click the Test All button. This button will go through all of the codes in our
database of set top boxes (over 200 devices at present). After clicking Test All,
watch your set top box. If it goes on or off, immediately click Stop Test. You have
found the correct code for your set top box. If your set top box does not turn on
or off even after going through all the codes, then either the IR transmitter is not
positioned correctly or your box is not supported.
Once you have determined the Code, click Next to go to the IR Channel Test
menu. You can click the Send button to send a number sequence to your set top
box. If your set top box is on, you should see 1 2 3 appear on the channel indicator
of your set top box.
Learning a new set top box remote control code
If you have a set top box that is not part of the Hauppauge IR Blaster preset codes,
you can add a new set top box by using the learn function.
To access the learn function, click on Advanced config, and then click Learn.
You will need to ‘learn’ the 0 through 9 keys, plus Power on and Enter. To learn
the new keys:
- hold your set top box remote control as close to the IR sensor on the HD PVR as
possible
- click the corresponding button on the Blaster Config program (for example: 1)
- then depress the appropriate key on your set top box remote control for approxi-
mately 1 second.
You should receive a LearnKey(key#) Succeeded message. Then move on to the
next key, until all of the keys on the remote are learned.
If you receive a LearnKey(key#) Failed error, this means that the key was either
held down too long, or not long enough, or that the remote was not held close
enough to the IR sensor on the HD PVR. Try again.
Using the WinTV Scheduler
The WinTV Scheduler can be used to control the channel changing of a set top box
for cable or satellite.
N
OTE: the IR blaster must be configured in advance for the Scheduler
to change the channels on your set top box.
To schedule a recording, click on the HD PVR Scheduler icon on the desktop.
Click on the Add program button to begin.
Use your mouse to highlight the Channel box and type in the Channel number
you wish to record. In the Save To box type in the name of the program (or use the
default).
Then select the date and time to begin and the duration. When finished, click Set
Program.
You will see a list of your entries. If you need to make changes to the scheduled
program, highlight the program and click the Edit button. You will see your
scheduled program in the Add Program menu. After making changes, close the
scheduler by clicking Set Program.
At the scheduled date and time, the HD PVR will send a command through the IR
Blaster to your set top box, telling the box to change to the selected channel. Then,
a few seconds later, the HD PVR will start to record video for the scheduled
duration.
