is there any TV tuner cards that can change channel of a set top box(ie digital tv) through Media Center (Vista)??
i recently got direct tv, and it's digital, not analog, so cant change channel like analog did with comcast
i tried Hauppauge 1600

didnt work out so well, it's got the so called "IR Blaster" or the IR emitter that sends signals as a remote control would , and i got it to change channel on my direct tv set top box (through the IR cfg program that came with it), but for some reason Vista Media Center cant use that IR Blaster/IR emitter ...
it seems like Vista cant see it for some reason, so i guess the question is, what IR emitter does Vista support??? what TV tuner??
i mean does Vista Media Center support IR emitter at all??
