I HAVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM. Im running windows 7, service pa ck 1, i have a media gate remote, with reciever and problem, and like you just recieved a Cisco CIS330 STB, also known as Scientific Atlanta CIS 330.

Either way i have not found a viable solution other than replacing some ir driver dll files and then writing the CCF files myself for Media Centers modified drivers to send to the IR blaster, but this is all way beyond my ability and knowledge with PCs. As well, i believe their remotes use toggle codes ( meaning it sends different frequency signal everytime u press the same button), therefore media center cannot learn the code. The only way to get around that is to do what i mentioned above, detailed on this helpful, but overly technical page here MCE Remote Replacement Driver FAQ


I have settled for just using two remotes, my STB one, and my PC one for media center.

If anyone else has any useful or easy suggestions around this problem, please let me know as well.

I have a Hauppagge HVR 1250 PCI-E, it has its own remote, but i prefer my MediaGate one, because it has an IR blaster as well. I've tried Win TV, but still prefer Media Center because it allows me to browse files and movies too, as well as shut down my PC in the prgram.

I might try some other programs out and what you suggested.

As for the toggle codes, i undertand it it has a few sets of codes for each command, which seems really redundant, and pointless ( why are they basically encrypting the signal?) maybe cause Cisco makes routers primarily. who knows, but your other suggestion might be whats being done, It would make alot more sense than using toggle codes.


Anyhow, if i find any pre-written drivers or info, i will send a link your way. I'm sure as they sell more STB's to service providers more and more people will end up in our situation, so someone is bound to make a solution.
