Users / Getting Ir-Blaster to work
« on: June 10, 2008, 10:04:57 pm »
Hi all,
I have been trying to get my Ir-blaster to work on 2 devices that I have both have failed miserably, and I have a feeling I am missing some simple yet crucial point here.
I have a JVC receiver that I have the sound connected to, all I really want is for it to change the volume (it's all I do with it today in any case.) I have tried using the codes offered by LMCE with no luck.
The other device is my cable Box. I live in Israel and the box I have at the moment is a Samsung. The remote looks very similar to the MCE remote, and I am guessing it's somewhat of a universal one - I would assume from this that it should be fairly easy to change it over to the MCE remote - but here also - no luck.
Am I missing something? Was there something I needed to install first?
I am using the Microsoft MCE remote and IR receiver (the Black one)
thanks,
-Dov
