My Hauppauge remote is working fine, it is being picked up by my MVPMC setup. From there, I need to go from my IR Blaster (the kind you can get on http://irblaster.info) to my Satellite receiver, which is a Dish network style box. I'm not certain whether the remote I'm using is relevant in my case?
