Ir Codeset Between A True Vision (ubc) Remote And A Dstv Adb Set Top Box?

Does anyone know the IR codeset between a True vision (UBC) remote and a DStv ADB set top box?

I have a Hauppauge PVR150 tv card (in a PC) with a IR Blaster (IR receiver/sender) to switch channels, but it does not do this.

To receive the TV signals I am using S-Video.

In the (IR) set-up configuration there isn't an Asia option, though there is a selection for "Hauppauge". I shouldn't think IR signals differ internationally so I guess this is a catch-all.

I have tried to force a code-set, using the 0682 codeset, which is shown as the code for a Europe DStv sat set-up. Though this is ignored.

Given what is said above, is there such a thing as a "sweet spot" to position the sender on the set top box?

I have tried the above questions in my local TrueVisions shop – to bewildered looks – the installers didn't even know.

Also, to enable Windows Media Centre (Vista), this too requires that the IR Blaster is working – is there anyway around that.

Can anyone assist?

Far superior way to get TV onto the PC is to use a Sat reception card not a TV in grab card..

Even better but slightly experimental is to use a dreambox and the DVBSBridge beta to pull the MPEG data stream from the dreambox and into vista media center.

Has anyone ever been able to use the mouse eye type devices in Thailand, I brought some over from the UK and they work on a different freq!

I was looking at buying one of those new remotes from Logitech that sends an RF signal so it will work throughout the house but its very expensive.
