Yes, they'd still have a problem. They would have to use the set top box remote to change channels for Live TV, or if they just wanted to record something on the fly.

Thanks Nigel, I always wondered if you could do the setup with the IR stuff in place, then remove it.

Would they still have a problem, if they don't care about scheduled recordings (as the OP stated)?

I don't know if anyone has tried using the IR equipment just to setup MC and
then removed it. I am not sure if you would get an error the next time is
started without the receiver plugged in or if once it was the setup the
system would be happy or maybe you would get some error but MC would load
anyway.

You get an error complaining that Media Center couldn't change channels & as MC 'knows' what channel
it has changed to this would mean that you would only be able to record a show by actually hitting
the record button as MC would 'think' that it was on the wrong channel & thus would start a
scheduled recording.
