USBUIRT For Dummies Please?
Hi
So much has been written in this forum about this device that it is dizzying! I just got my USBUIRT and what I am trying to do is get my Tivo Remote to Control SageTV instead of my Streamzap. Here is my scenario 1 Sage Box 2 Tuners (PVR150 - Dish Network and PVR250 - DirectTV ) Dishnetwork Tuner is being controlled sucessfully by my Actisys on COM1 DirectTV Tuner is being controlled successfully by a IR blaster which is plugged into the back of the USBUIRT The USBUIRT is velcro'd to my TV pointing towards the couch. I unplugged my Streamzap and went into SageTV's detailed setup and went into Link Commands to Sage but whenever I tried to link an action with the Tivo Remote.. no response. I see the USBUIRT light up every time I hit a button on the Tivo Remote. I think I have explained what I am trying to do. What am I doing wrong? Do I need that girder software to do what I am trying to do? HELP! :-) Attached is the .IR file I am using to control my Dish Network receiver via the USBUIRT (I have a sneaky suspicion this needs to be edited)

How close is your remote to the USB-UIRT when you are trying to learn the IR code? If you didn't go through a process of learning codes when you set it up to control the STV box, then don't forget that the remote has to be fairly close to the USB-UIRT to learn the IR codes.

Opus, I am not sure you are understanding what I am trying to do or maybe I wasn't clear in my original post
I trained the usbuirt to change the channels of my DirecTV box with the Directv remote. I connected a blaster to the back of the USBUIRT and that blaster is in front of the DirectTV receiver Currently I control SageTV with the Streamzap remote. I was under the impression that with the USBUIRT I could use any IR remote. If that is the case I want to control Sage with a Tivo Remote, not the streamzap remote. My other tuner is being changed by an Actisys Thanks Quote:

No, I understood, but I probably wasn't very clear.
 I wasn't sure you had used the USB-UIRT to learn IR codes before (but now I know you did)... and was simply suggesting that you make sure the Tivo remote was fairly close to the USB-UIRT when trying to learn the codes for the SageTV commands. That's all my suggestion was, so someone else will have to add any other tips for USB-UIRT usage.- Andy

That was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Thanks ToxMox! Quote:
