How do I change my tuning device to USB-UIRT

[wayner]

I want to change my tuning device from firewire from USB-UIRT as I am changing the STB for this source to one that does not have firewire. When I go into Setup|Setup Video Sources|Hauppage... |Tuner Control|Change Tuning Device I do not see the USB-UIRT listed just the numbers 1 and 2. I just installed the USB-UIRT and the drivers for Vista - I have not used the USB-UIRT with this PC before. I can see the USB-UIRT in Device Manager.

Do I have to do anything else special so that Sage can see the USB-UIRT?

Are you not able to change Tuning Device - do you have to start over by deleting and adding the source?

edit: I should mention that I am using the MCE remote as my IR receiver - should I just use this as a blaster as well? I thought I read somewhere that this was kind of flaky with Sage when using it as a blaster.

Yes. You have to Add and Delete. If you keep the same program source it won't go through the long process of updating the channel listing. Also your selected channels will remain intact.

Anyone know the pros and cons of using the USB-UIRT vs. the MCE remote with LM Remote Keymap?

I've used USB-UIRT and LM Remote Key Map and would have to say that once you've have set up your system with either they perform transparently.
