usb-uirt + sagetv = "Pulling my hair out"

[thewgp]

I just got my usb-uirt today. Im running sagetv 2.0 with a 250 card, dish network 322 reciever. Can someone please walk me through the setup of this. I am able to get video but not control the channel changing on the dish reciever. Do I use both remotes (Hauppauge and Dish)? Just the Hauppauge? Just the Dish? I have read, searched, copied files to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. . Thanks

Did you select the USB-UIRT in the Setup Wizard when configuring your source? See page 97 of the 2.0 manual for details on the Setup Wizard configuration process.

Yes, I chose that. What .IR file do I use. I have downloaded seveal. Do I make a new one.

That is covered in the manual too. When you select the USB-UIRT, you move on to Step 6 (p. 99 in the 2.0 manual). There, you either select your box or add a new one if yours isn't listed. As long as the USB-UIRT can learn from your box's remote, you continue through the various stages of step 6 to teach all the codes for the new device.

The manual for v2.0 is not included in the installation, as far as I know. If you don't have it, you can right click on the link to the PDF in my sig lines & download it. It is an 8MB PDF and has much more info than the setup PDF that comes with the 2.0 install.

Got it working. Once I put in repeatcount 10 it works great. A little slow but it works. Thanks for the tip on the manual.
