Re: Problem with ir signal

If there is no ir emitter connected between your ir receiver and your STB,
it's not going to work. There needs to be a way for the computer to control
your set top box, and that's how Media Center does it (with the IR emitter
between the ir receiver and the STB)

I want to use Media Center to show tv, it finds the s-vhs signal on my
digitalbox. But it cant find any ir signal and it seems like it needs
to
find
one?

Do you have the MCE remote and IR bug(s)?

Looks something like this:
