Vista with MC IR Blasters?

[ghostlobster]

OK, I've been scouring the board here as well as the docs, and I con't find any specific steps for getting Sage to work within Vista, with the MS IR blaster.
I am converting from Vista Media Center, ran the Sage install, and at the point where I add the video source (2 Hauppauge 150s) I'm asked if I have a STB. I reply yes, then I'm asked about tuning the boxes. The selections are the DTV Serial insterface, something else, and the USB IURT's. If I select the USB UIRTs, it says that the hardware is not found.
What steps need to be taken in order to install SageTV and have it control 2 STBs using the Microsoft IR Blasters?
Thanks!

Sage doesn't support the MC IR blaster. Use this:

New MCE Remote software

Gerry,
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.
I'm really looking forward to getting on the SageTV wagon, seeing as it appears that MS is not going to be offering support for the HD-PVR for quite some time. As soon as I get this up and operational with the stuff I have now, then I'll look into the move to the HD-PVR in a few weeks.

globster,
Once you get SageTV running, be sure and try out the user-made SageMC replacement STV. Many former VMC and MCE users love the UI and functionality it gives you.

Have the LMGestion app installed, both STBs are being controlled nicely, thanks a bunch! I'm having a weird problem adding my HDHomeRun now, though. I posted a new thread about that here.

Also, I love the SageMC skin. That may be exactly what is required in order to get the WAF to a decent level.
