That was in MCE 2002. 2004 now wants you to press a number key on your
remote to train it.

you go to MCE settings menu and set the right manufacturer/model of your
STB. That'll prevent the TV changing channels instead.

basically you have to stick the IR emitter "bug" to your set top box face,
preferably close to the IR receiver on the set top box. Use a flashlight to
find out exact location of IR receiver on STB and place the IR emitter that
came with your MCE PC close to it. Some users like myself have had problems
placing it exactly on top of the IR receiver, so you might want to position
it off center a little bit to get better results. Post your comments on
whether it's working or not.
